Tryna be the next when you call it quits

Soldier of fortune, a war within

Verse 4
C 
Arm yourself with the cause to live
G 
But you're a rabid dog
and we're glad that you're dead
Em 
They all seem so fraudulent
D 
Like they got the keys and the formula
C 
Since they got the grease
and the fixers
And you just grind your
G 
teeth and ball your fists
Em 
Recall, talk that shit
D 
More time wasted is all it is
C 
Wash your face till the faucet drips
G 
You can't leave no trace
Nothing special
Em 
Sleep all day when you're under pressure
D 
But these hard ways all run together
C 
In all directions, in all directions,
G 
in all directions
All forever
Em 
You don't feel that luck,
D 
you don't care that much
C 
You don't make new friends,
G 
you don't feel that love
Em 
You got two ARs,
D 
a few hundred rounds
C 
And you're about to add that
to the memory of bombs
G 
Em 
Buried under this town
D 
C 
Save me baby, can you get to me?
G 
Em 
D 
Let me hear it, hear it, hear it
C 
G 
C 
Let it, let it, be your, be your
G 
D 
Sunrise, 6am, still hungover,
rolling out of bed
F 
C 
D 
Find your weapon, hide your stash
Em 
C 
And step outside wearing
D 
a vest and a badge
Em 
Step to the app with an ugly question
D 
Use that gap like a tongue depressor
C 
The streets breed thugs
that's unrepentant
G 
But you're gonna teach
these punks a lesson
Em 
Just came off three months suspension
D 
For cracking some heads
with a service weapon
C 
You told your lieutenant
that you felt threatened
G 
Meanwhile the child wears no expression
Em 
His pen with a rose he can hold forever
D 
A cross made of gold gave no protection
C 
The walls of his home bear a lonely echo
G 
A name to remember and a son to let go
Em 
You don't feel that sorry
D 
You don't care that much
C 
You can't make new friends
G 
You can't feel their love
Em 
So they say goodbye
D 
And they sent him down
C 
To be kept with the rest
In the memory of bombs
Em 
buried under this town
D 
C 
Save me baby, can you hear me?
G 
Em 
Tell me I'm the reason you're here
D 
C 
Hear it, hear it, shout out loud
Em 
Mayo, Mayo, Mayo
G 
Em 
This is not a place of  honor
D 
These are our danger markers
C 
F 
Don't mistake this grave
for a monument
Em 
Stay clear, don't build or farm on it
What we buried down there
will remain harmful
D 
for 10 ,000 years long after
Em 
we're gone
D# 
C 
Em 
Warned and the threat is active,
we left a hazard
The sleeper dragons as deep as
we could fathom beneath the flooring
D 
A lake of poison,
beneath that lake
C 
lay the bones of warriors
Above that strata
Em 
is today's time for you
Pack up all the automatics
in the middle school corridor
D 
Cut back to the true and awful,
soon shoot black boys in
C 
the heat of August
And leave them in the street
Em 
like a piece of garbage
The kids are not alright,
they in the sights of targets
Our knights are haunted,
D 
their voices call us to incite the chorus
C 
And light the torches,
ignite the star fronts
Em 
It's part of the earth now,
the price of all this
The evil's old, the evil's timeless
D 
The methods are known,
the aggression and violence
C 
We try to contain it,
but flesh they hide it
G 
But it's unstable, and it goes viral
Em 
The smoke is rising and
we're melting down
D 
So run down to the basement
or get under the ground
C 
Because your life is a second
in the memory of bombs
Em 
Buried under this time
D 
C 
Save me, can you hear?
G 
Em 
G 
Tell me, what reason to be
Em 
D 
C 
Fear it, the shadow that will lead away
Em 
Remember the words, save me
D 
C 
Can you, tell me,
G 
Em 
what reason to be
D 
C 
Fear it, the shadow that will lead away
Em 
G 
Em 
A memory of a holy place
E 
Em 
C 
Em 
D 
Am 
Em 
Save me
D 
C 
G 
Can you tell me a reason
Em 
D 
for fearing the shadows
Am 
Em 
and layers?
D 
C 
A memory of love, please
Em 
D 
Am 
Em 
A   memory of love, please you
