===========================================================================================
[Verse 1]
DmWe were taught to kneel and bow our Fheads.
I tried simply standing up inGmstead.
Heard rumors of transparent Flegs
And walks for Emdays and days.
DmThese days we reach for so much Fmore
We reached the point where we can't go Gmhome.
Alone we wait here underFground
           -
Amidst the others waiting
[Chorus]
  BbSo pray, thenDm/G, if it makes you feel Dmsafe.
  But all I can sCay is we go our oBbwn way.
  We go our oCwn way.
      C(Bend)  D5  
  So save us.
[Verse 2]
DmWho would guess you were the chosen oFne?
The right place, you were the firstborn sGmon.
Once questioned stable state of mFind
To spend some Emtime in the gutter.
DmA full collapse and caving inF  
Just wait for faith to kick iGmn
I lost track of time as I stood in liFne
           -
Amidst the other believers.
[Chorus]
  BbSo pray, thenDm/G, if it makes you feel Dmsafe.
  But all I can sCay is we go our oBbwn way.
  So pray, thenDm/G, if it makes you feel Dmsafe.
  But all I can sCay is we go our oBbwn way.
  We go our oCwn way.
      C(Bend)  D5  
  So save us.
[Bridge]
DmOver and over and I still can not beFlieve
We can't save oursGmelves
Give me a chance up on the cross and watch me Fbleed.
Now Emask for help
  DmHaving faith in something you can't Fsee
Takes something Gmelse
Over and over and I still can not beFlieve
-
We can save ourselves
[Chorus]
  BbSo pray, thenDm/G, if it makes you feel Dmsafe.
  But all I can sCay is we go our oBbwn way.
  So pray, thenDm/G, if it makes you feel Dmsafe.
  But all I can sCay is we go our oBbwn way.
  We go our oCwn way.

On The Cross - The Used

===========================================================================================

[Verse 1]

Dm F

We were taught to kneel and bow our heads.

I tried simply standing up instead.

Heard rumors of transparent legs

And walks for days and days.

Dm F

These days we reach for so much more

We reached the point where we can't go home.

Alone we wait here underground

Amidst the others waiting

[Chorus]

Bb Dm/G Dm

So pray, then, if it makes you feel safe.

C Bb

But all I can say is we go our own way.

We go our own way.

C D5

(Bend)

So save us.

[Verse 2]

Dm F

Who would guess you were the chosen one?

The right place, you were the firstborn son.

Once questioned stable state of mind

To spend some time in the gutter.

Dm F

A full collapse and caving in

Just wait for faith to kick in

I lost track of time as I stood in line

Amidst the other believers.

[Chorus]

Bb Dm/G Dm

So pray, then, if it makes you feel safe.

C Bb

But all I can say is we go our own way.

Dm/G Dm

So pray, then, if it makes you feel safe.

C Bb

But all I can say is we go our own way.

We go our own way.

C D5

(Bend)

So save us.

[Bridge]

Dm F

Over and over and I still can not believe

We can't save ourselves

Give me a chance up on the cross and watch me bleed.

Now ask for help

Dm F

Having faith in something you can't see

Takes something else

Over and over and I still can not believe

We can save ourselves

[Chorus]

Bb Dm/G Dm

So pray, then, if it makes you feel safe.

C Bb

But all I can say is we go our own way.

Dm/G Dm

So pray, then, if it makes you feel safe.

C Bb

But all I can say is we go our own way.

We go our own way.

C D5

(Bend)

So save us.

Thanks.
