Behind Closed Doors

[Intro]
Bbm                            Ab   Gb
   Chairs thrown and tables toppled,
                           Db   Ebm
Hands armed with broken bottles,
                          Ab  Gb
Standing no chance to win but,
                  Ab
We're not running,  we're not running.

[Interlude]
Bbm Ab Gb Db Ebm Ab Gb Ab

[Verse 1]
Bbm                                 Ab   Gb
   There's a point I think we're missing,
                                  Db   Ebm
It's in the air we raise our fists  in,
                            Ab   Gb
In the smiles we cast each other,
          Ab
My sister,  my brother.
Bbm                             Ab Gb
   About the time we gave up hoping
                                  Db  Ebm
We'd ever find these locks still open,
                             Ab
Stumbling on stones unturned,
Gb                   Ab
The hurt we feel, we all have earned.

[Interlude]
Bbm Ab Gb            Db Ebm
         The lines we      cross in search of change,
Ab   Gb
  But
                Ab      Bbm
all they see is treason.

[Chorus]
Gb            Ab          Gb             Db
  Although we have no obligation to stay alive
Gb          Ab               Gb
  On broken backs we beg for mercy,
        Db
we will survive
Gb           Ab               Gb
  (Break out)  I won't be left  here
       Db     Gb    Ab
Behind closed doors.

[Verse 2]
Bbm                       Ab  Gb
   Bonfires burn like beacons,
                          Db  Ebm
Guiding the lost and weakened.
                               Ab Gb
Flames dance on crashing waves,
                     Ab
Guiding ships who've gone astray
Bbm                               Ab  Gb
   Time out, let's stop and think this  through,
                           Db
We've all got better things
   Ebm
to do,
                          Ab Gb
Than talk in circles, run in place,
        Ab              Bbm
Answers inches from our face.

[Chorus]
Gb            Ab          Gb             Db
  Although we have no obligation to stay alive
Gb          Ab               Gb
  On broken backs we beg for mercy,
        Db
we will survive
Gb           Ab               Gb
  (Break out)  I won't be left  here
       Db     Gb    Ab Bbm
Behind closed doors.

[Interlude]
Gb Ab Gb Ab Bbm Ab Bbm Ab

[Bridge]
Gb                   Ab
  Black eyes, broken fingers,
Gb                  Ab     Bbm        Ab
  Blood drips and I let it run Down my
Bbm                       Ab
lips into my swollen gums.
Gb                  Ab
  When hope is nonexistent,
Gb                  Ab     Bbm
  Our instincts all scream "Run",
        Ab
We never
Bbm                         Ab
turn our backs or even bite our tongues.

[Chorus]
Gb            Ab          Gb             Db
  Although we have no obligation to stay alive
Gb          Ab               Gb
  On broken backs we beg for mercy,
        Db
we will survive
Gb           Ab               Gb
  (Break out)  I won't be left  here
       Db     Gb    Ab Bbm
Behind closed doors.

[Outro]
Gb            Ab          Gb             Db
  Although we have no obligation to stay alive
Gb          Ab               Gb
  On broken backs we beg for mercy,
        Db
we will survive
Gb           Ab               Gb
  (Break out)  I won't be left  here
       Db     Gb    Ab Bbm
Behind closed doors.
