Dm        A#               F        C  
  Do you know what’s worth fighting for?   
Dm         A#         F       C  
  When it’s not worth dying for?  
Dm         A#         F       C  
  Does it take your breath away,   
         A#                 C  
and you feel yourself suffocating?  

Dm         A#        F          C  
  Does the pain weigh out the pride?   
Dm         A#         F         C  
  and you look for a place to hide?  
Dm         A#             F       C  
  did someone break your heart inside?  
          A#                F  
you’re in ruins  


Chorus	  
F    C/E    D   C             A#  
One, 21 guns…, lay down your arms  
F           C       (Riff G--9-10-12- )  
Give up the fight      
F    C/E    D   C             A#  
One, 21 guns…, Throw up your arms  
F          C        (Riff G--9-10-12- )   
into the sky  
        F  A# G  
You and I  


Dm            A#       F         C  
  When you’re at the end of the road  

Dm            A#       F        C  
  And you've lost all sense of control  
Dm          A#           F           C  
  And your thoughts have taken their toll  
          A#                             C  
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul  

Dm        A#            F        C  
   Your faith walks on broken glass  
Dm          A#       F        C  
   and the hangover doesn’t pass  
Dm          A#      F         C  
   Nothing’s ever built to last  
          A#                F  
you’re in ruins.

One, 21 guns…, Throw up your arms  
F          C        (Riff G--9-10-12- )

You and I
