[Intro]
Db Gb Eb
[Verse 1]
EbAnd they wonder what our parents say
And they wonder how we'll rDbaise our chAbildren
FmAnd they tell me that I'm living with a monster
And they whisper that she took up with a vCmillain
AbBut I don't see dragon's scales
EbAnd I don't see clDbaws and fAbangs
All I'm looking at is aGbrms that hold me
AbBrown eyes that understand
EbAnd when she clAbosed those eyes one final time no pipGbers cFmame
FmBut I know I got a love that's truer than a milAbitary sniper's aCmim
CmBut we won't die in vain
GdimTie that chain around my wGdimaist
And Abpull me from the bottom of the pit of hell up to your final resting place
[Chorus 1]
EbSarajevo, SDbarajAbevo
You're the altar tEbhat I prBbmay to
God is lEbove and love is aBbmll we hFmaveAb  
[Verse 2]
EbWe were trynna run from the city
Had the hope and the prDbide of the kids
FmPeople wanna put up walls to divide us
Kinda fitting that we dEbied on a bridge
BbmSame souls, both sides of the banks
EbThey say we're different and they're fDbillin in the facts
FmBut they put the same metal in the bullets
AbAnd they put the same bullets in our backs
EbKinda love that we got is one in a mill
Ain't no God that I pDbray to would wanna kill
FmIt's not God but it's fear and it's politics
And a Molotov that was Eblit with a dollar bill
BbmDon't say all is lost
GdimEscape this hoDblocaust
FmMy God, Allah, my darling, sAbtar and crescent and my cross
[Chorus 2]
EbSarajevo, SDbarajAbevo
You're the altar tEbhat I prBbmay to
God is lEbove and love is aBbmll we hFmaveAb  
EbSarajevo, SDbarajAbevo
You're the altar tEbhat I prBbmay to
God is lEbove and love is aBbmll we hFmaveAb  
[Verse 3]
AbWhere do we coEbme from? WDbhere do we go?
You could fAbill up the sea with the tEbhings I don't kGbmaj7now
Gbmaj7But I know what I feel and I kEbnow when it's real
And I Gbmaj7hope that we hDbeal
We're two drops of the bAblood and the tears
AbOver thousands of years of the clash of the steel
EbI'm not blind to the cycle
We’re pressed in the spDbine of a FmBible
They define the divine by the title
But what did CEbhrist say? To be kind to my rival

[Intro]

Db Gb Eb

[Verse 1]

And they wonder what our parents say

Db Ab

And they wonder how we'll raise our children

And they tell me that I'm living with a monster

And they whisper that she took up with a villain

But I don't see dragon's scales

Eb Db Ab

And I don't see claws and fangs

All I'm looking at is arms that hold me

Brown eyes that understand

Eb Ab Gb Fm

And when she closed those eyes one final time no pipers came

Fm Ab Cm

But I know I got a love that's truer than a military sniper's aim

But we won't die in vain

Gdim Gdim

Tie that chain around my waist

And pull me from the bottom of the pit of hell up to your final resting place

[Chorus 1]

Eb Db Ab

Sarajevo, Sarajevo

Eb Bbm

You're the altar that I pray to

Eb Bbm Fm Ab

God is love and love is all we have

[Verse 2]

We were trynna run from the city

Had the hope and the pride of the kids

People wanna put up walls to divide us

Kinda fitting that we died on a bridge

Bbm

Same souls, both sides of the banks

Eb Db

They say we're different and they're fillin in the facts

But they put the same metal in the bullets

And they put the same bullets in our backs

Kinda love that we got is one in a mill

Ain't no God that I pray to would wanna kill

It's not God but it's fear and it's politics

And a Molotov that was lit with a dollar bill

Bbm

Don't say all is lost

Gdim Db

Escape this holocaust

Fm Ab

My God, Allah, my darling, star and crescent and my cross

[Chorus 2]

Eb Db Ab

Where do we come from? Where do we go?

Ab Eb Gbmaj7

You could fill up the sea with the things I don't know

Gbmaj7 Eb

But I know what I feel and I know when it's real

Gbmaj7 Db

And I hope that we heal

We're two drops of the blood and the tears

Over thousands of years of the clash of the steel

I'm not blind to the cycle

Db Fm

We’re pressed in the spine of a Bible

They define the divine by the title

But what did Christ say? To be kind to my rival

Bbm

You're my kind of revival

Gm Gm Fm

It's true ya, my favorite Hallelujah

You my you my favorite Hallelujah
