21 Guns

Green Day

1. Do you know what's worth fighting for,
   when it's not worth dying for?
   Does it take your breath away,
   and you feel yourself suffocating?
   Does the pain weigh out the pride,
   and you look for a place to hide?
   Did someone break your heart inside?
   you're in ruins.

R: One, twenty-one guns
   lay down your arms
   give up the fight
   one, twenty-one guns
   throw up your arms into the sky,
   you and I.

2. When you're at the end of the road
   and you lost all sense of control
   and your thoughts have taken their toll
   when your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
   your faith walks on broken glass
   and the hangover doesn't pass
   nothing's ever built to last
   you're in ruins.

R: One, twenty-one guns...

*: Did you try to live on your own
   when you burned down the house and home?
   Did you stand too close to the fire,
   Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?

3. When it's time to live and let die
   and you can't get another try
   Something inside this heart has died
   You're in ruins.

R: One, twenty-one guns... (2x)
