standard tuning
use capo on 2nd fret
[A] There is a crowd in here
That fooled themselves
They brought their friends
And they made their hell
They fakes their grin
In a lonely cell
To the bitter end
But what do I know
There are a few in here
That hurt themselves
They kick and bend in a dried-up well
They call for help
And you know them well
Are you aware
But what do I know
[A] I, I will [Esus4] not sur[F#m]render [Dsus2]
No [A] I, I will [Esus4] not sur[F#m]render [Dsus2]
No [A] I, I will [Esus4] not sur[F#m]render [Dsus2]
No [A] I, I will [Esus4] not sur[F#m]render [D]
When [A] God falls fast [Dsus2] asleep
The kids still [F#m] dance in city [D] streets
From the White House [A] Lawn to the Middle [Esus4] East
And all around
[F#m] I'm just saying that [Dsus2] this time I feel it now
When [A] God falls fast [Dsus2] asleep
The kids still [F#m] move to a steady [D] beat
Even if it's [A] bombs landing at their [Esus4] feet
And all around
[F#m] I'm just saying that [D] this time I feel it now
[A] There is a place to hide
That's in our minds
It's in the dark
It's well known that
We have a fragile heart
It's deep inside
It has a sound that you can follow
You [A] feel like you hit a [Esus4] wall
But you [F#m] survive
And it was [D] hard for you to swallow
I've [A] been to that place be[Esus4]fore
In spite of [F#m] luck
When you a[D]wake a new tomorrow
[A] I, I will [Esus4] not sur[F#m]render [Dsus2]
No [A] I, I will [Esus4] not sur[F#m]render [Dsus2]
No [A] I, I will [Esus4] not sur[F#m]render [Dsus2]
No [A] I, I will [Esus4] not sur[F#m]render [D]
When [A] God falls fast [Dsus2] asleep
The kids still [F#m] dance in city [D] streets
From the White House [A] Lawn to the Middle [Esus4] East
And all around
[F#m] I'm just saying that [Dsus2] this time I feel it now
When [A] God falls fast [Dsus2] asleep
The kids still [F#m] move to a steady [D] beat
Even if it's [A] bombs landing at their [Esus4] feet
And all around
[F#m] I'm just saying that [D] this time I feel it now [A]
