  BbWoke up to a brand new Fskyline
  BbWe licked our wounds and mourn the Fdead
  BbSwallow the story hook and Fsinker
Is that what we Bbmeant when we said
That we Cnever would forget?
  EbAre we fools and cowards all
To let them cover up their Gmlies?
  EbCause we all watched the buildings fall
Watched the scales fall from our Bbeyes
Instrumental:  Bb  F  
  BbA fire burns beneath ManFhattan
  BbStill we breathe with broken Flungs
  BbWe act like none of this Fmatters
Is that what we Bbmeant When we said
That we'd Csing what must be sung?
  EbAre we fools and cowards all
To let them cover up their Gmlies?
  EbCause we all watched the buildings fall
Watched the scales fall from our Bbeyes
GmWe want anBbswers
GmScream from the Bbroofs
GmWe want jusBbtice

Woke up to a brand new skyline

We licked our wounds and mourn the dead

Cause we all watched the buildings fall

Watched the scales fall from our eyes

Still we breathe with broken lungs

To let them cover up their lies?

Cause we all watched the buildings fall

Watched the scales fall from our eyes

We want answers

Gm Bb

Scream from the roofs

We want justice

Gm Bb

We want the truth
