[Intro]
Am  F  C  G  x2


[Verse 1]
Am     F                C        G
Do you know what's worth fighting for,
Am        F        C      G
When it's not worth dying for?
Am      F        C      G
Does it take your breath away
F                         G
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Am       F         C       G
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
Am        F       C        G
And you look for a place to hide?
Am      F             C      G
Did someone break your heart inside?
           F       G
You're in ruins


[Chorus]
C    G    Am
One, 21 guns
G             F
Lay down your arms
C           G
Give up the fight
C    G    Am
One, 21 guns
G             F   C        G
Throw up your arms into the sky,
        F    C  G
You and I


[Verse 2]
Am          F     C          G
When you're at the end of the road
Am      F       C        G
And you lost all sense of control
Am        F           C           G
And your thoughts have taken their toll
F                                       G
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Am   F             C      G
Your faith walks on broken glass
Am      F       C       G
And the hangover doesn't pass
Am        F   C        G
Nothing's ever built to last
           F       G
You're in ruins


[Chorus]
C    G    Am
One, 21 guns
G             F
Lay down your arms
C           G
Give up the fight
C    G    Am
One, 21 guns
G             F   C        G
Throw up your arms into the sky,
        F    C  G
You and I


[Bridge]
Am      F     C            G
Did you try to live on your own
Am       F               C        E
When you burned down the house and home?
Am      F         C           E
Did you stand too close to the fire?
F                          G                 C
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone


[Instrumental]
C  G  Am  G  F  C  G    x2
F  C  E

Am  F  C  G  x2


[Verse 3]
Am        F       C           G
When it's time to live and let die
Am      F        C       G
And you can't get another try
Am         F         C         G
Something inside this heart has died
           F
You're in ruins


[Chorus]
C    G    Am
One, 21 guns
G             F
Lay down your arms
C           G
Give up the fight
C    G    Am
One, 21 guns
G             F   C       G
Throw up your arms into the sky

C    G    Am
One, 21 guns
G             F
Lay down your arms
C           G
Give up the fight
C    G    Am
One, 21 guns
G             F   C        G
Throw up your arms into the sky,
        F    C  G
You and I
