[Intro]

(Strum once) Bm G D A (x2)


[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]


D    A  Bm
One, 21 guns
A             G
Lay down your arms
D           A
Give up the fight
D    A  Bm
One, 21 guns
A             G    D        A
Throw up your arms into the sky,
        G  D  A
You and I


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


[Chorus]


D    A  Bm
One, 21 guns
A             G
Lay down your arms
D           A
Give up the fight
D    A  Bm
One, 21 guns
A             G    D        A
Throw up your arms into the sky,
        G  D  A
You and I


[Verse 3]

(Different strumming pattern)

Bm       G      D            A
 Did you try to live on your own
Bm        G               D         F#m        
 When you burned down the house and home?
Bm        G         D            F#m
  Did you stand too close to the fire?
       G                                   A
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone


[Interlude/Solo]

(Strum once) Bm G D A (x2)


[Verse 4]

Bm          G       D            A 
  When it's time to live and let die
Bm        G         D       A
  And you can't get another try
Bm          G           D         A
  Something inside this heart has died
            G (strum once and wait)     A
  You're in ruins.


[Chorus] (x2)
        
        G       D      A
You and I.
