[Verse 1]
D#5
   Cardinal crashed into my window,
  C#5/F          F#5
I think he might die
I'll plan him a funeral,
     C#5           D#5
I'll read his last rites
                                     C#5/F      F#5
'Cause I know what he saw in that reflection of light
                              C#5
On the glass was a better life

[Verse 2]
D#5
   Staring at a hole in your chest
            C#5/F            F#5
That's been dug  there for decades
                C#5
American broken promises
D#5
   Caught between the lies you've been fed
      C#5/F          F#5
And a war  with your bloodstream
                                  C#5      D#5
I should have been there when you needed a friend
                B5       C#5
I was off on my own again
F#5 C#5/F D#5 F#5/A#      B5
              Selfish and stupid

[Chorus]
C#5          F#5
   So if you call me back or let me in
C#5           B5
I  swear I'll never let you down again
C#5         F#5
I  know the devil you've been fighting with
C#5           B5                      C#5
I  swear I'll never let you down again
D#5 C#5/F F#5 C#5

[Verse 3]
D#5
   I had that nightmare again
       C#5/F         F#5
You're seven and helpless, angry as hell
        C#5            D#5
And you balled up your fists but I laughed at your swings
      C#5/F         F#5
And I beat you half conscious
I know that I failed you,
     C#5     F#5  C#5/F
woke up in a sweat
D#5 F#5/A#           B5
    I     want those years back

[Chorus]
          F#5
So if you call me back or let me in
C#5           B5
I  swear I'll never let you down again
C#5         F#5
I  know the devil you've been fighting with
C#5           B5                      C#5
I  swear I'll never let you down again

[Bridge]
F#5 C#5/F D#5 C#5/F F#5           C#5/F
                       We're no saviors
D#5                         C#5/F
   if we can't save our brothers
F#5           C#5/F
   We're no saviors
D#5                         C#5/F
   if we can't save our brothers

[Chorus]
B5          F#5
  So if you call me back or let me in
C#5           B5
I  swear I'll never let you down again
C#5         F#5
I  know the devil you've been fighting with
C#5           B5
I  swear I'll never let you down again
C#5       F#5
So if you call me back or let me in
C#5           B5
I  swear I'll never let you down again
C#5         F#5
I  know the devil you've been fighting with
C#5           B5
I  swear I'll never let you down again
                    C#5 F#5
Never let you down again
