Dm Bb F C
Do you know what's worth fighting for,
Dm Bb F C
When it's not worth dying for?
Dm Bb F C
Does it take your breath away
Bb C
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Dm Bb F C
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
Dm Bb F C
And you look for a place to hide?
Dm Bb F C
Did someone break your heart inside?
Bb C5
You're in ruins
[Chorus]
F5 C/E D5
One, 21 guns
C5 Bb5
Lay down your arms
F5 C5
Give up the fight
F5 C/E D5
One, 21 guns
C5 Bb5 F5 C5
Throw up your arms into the sky,
Bb5 F5 C5
You and I
[Verse]
Dm Bb F C
When you're at the end of the road
Dm Bb F C
And you lost all sense of control
Dm Bb F C
And your thoughts have taken their toll
Bb C
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Dm Bb F C
Your faith walks on broken glass
Dm Bb F C
And the hangover doesn't pass
Dm Bb F C
Nothing's ever built to last
Bb C5
You're in ruins.
[Chorus]
F5 C/E D5
One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Dm Bb F C
Did you try to live on your own
Dm Bb F A
When you burned down the house and home?
Dm Bb F A
Did you stand too close to the fire?

You're in ruins.
