Martyrdom

Intro:
Am C (x2) 

 
                  Am                      C

                 Am                                  C 
Tell me how the mountains rise on up on an open road 
                Am 
Talk about the robins singing in the trees 
               C 
And how their song could bring a man to his knees 
                Am                F                  C G 
Tell me that a young man doesnt have to feel so old 
 

 
                  Am                        C 
Give me one more summer as if I aint been burnt by the sun 
                  Am                             C 
Tell me that Im sorry for these things Ive done 
         Am 
Make me believe its not black and white 
        C 
We can return from this mortal fight 
                  Am              F               C G 
Tell me that the flesh is not as weak as the heart

E                E7 
 Dont wanna be a memory 
             Dm 
 Sitting in a locket, lying on your chest 
          E 
 Tell em we had fought the best 
             F 
 We fell in martyrdom 
            Fm 
 Something sweet for my son

                      Am                                      C 
They cant afford to lose all of these things that weve found 
                Am 
The only way to win is to lay down our arms 
                C 
Dont let them twist you into something you arent 
          Am                F 
We were wrong, oh were so wrong to let go

 Sitting in a locket, lying on your chest 
          E 
 Tell em we had fought the best 
             F 
 We fell in martyrdom 
            Fm 
 Something sweet for my son

                Am               Dm 
Im running free, Im getting out 
              F                                   E 
I dropped the keys right by my shifting sense of doubt 
                Am                       Dm 
Dont ask me questions, I dont know shit 
            F 
The reaper waits, the angels cry 
          E 
Over the hill inside my mind 

And now I-
