[Intro]
Bm D A E

Bm                                     D
As the sun is masked, we are born like this
                                           A
Into fist fights that end in shootings and knifings
                                      E
Into a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes
E
Born into this


[Verse 1]
Bm                         D
The hate outweighs the love
Bm
We're sleeping through the flood
                    D   A
that's drowning out our noise
D        E              D
Let them hear your voice
Bm                  D
We're born into this
Bm                                  D A
Don't mean we can't resist and rise a-bove
D          E
Share your turtle dove


[Pre-Chorus]
        G              D  Bm
All the gunshot wounds on railway tracks
    G               D   Bm
The straw has broke the camel's back
    A             E
too long, for too long
N.C.
So save yourself my friend


[Chorus]
Bm                  D
  This could be the end
                  A
This could be the end
A
Save yourself my friend
        E
Can you feel it coming
E
Feel it coming on?
Bm                  D
  This could be the end
                  A
This could be the end
A
Save yourself my friend
        E
Can you feel it coming
E
Feel it coming on?


[Verse 2]
Bm                       D
They tried to fool us all
Bm
To be a brick in the wall
              D  A
but the truth is out
D        E             D
Let them hear you shout
Bm                          D
There's heartbreaking scenes
Bm                        D   A
that our tv screens won't televise
D         E
They just poison us with lies


[Pre-Chorus]
        G              D  Bm
All the gunshot wounds on railway tracks
    G               D   Bm
The straw has broke the camel's back
    A             E
too long, for too long
N.C.
So save yourself my friend


[Chorus]
Bm                  D
  This could be the end
                  A
This could be the end
A
Save yourself my friend
        E
Can you feel it coming
E
Feel it coming on?
Bm                  D
  This could be the end
                  A
This could be the end
A
Save yourself my friend
        E
Can you feel it coming
E
Feel it coming on?


[Bridge]
Bm    A
We are born like this
           Bm           A
Into these carefully mad wars
D    E D E
Born into this
Bm    A
Dying because of this, muted because of this
Bm           A
The heart is blackened
N.C.
Born into this


[Outro]
Bm                  D
  This could be the end
                  A
This could be the end
A
Save yourself my friend
        E
Can you feel it coming
E
Feel it coming on?
Bm                  D
  This could be the end
                  A
This could be the end
A
Save yourself my friend
        E
Can you feel it coming
E                 N.C.
Feel it coming on?
