[Em][G][D]

[Verse 1]
What [D]are these words that are
surrounding me? I [Em]swear the seagrass is talking [D]to me.
It [Em]speaks my name [D]so lovingly
I've [Em]heard this song before
[D]Like sta[Em]rs in the nig[D]ht,
the voices soft and light
[Em]The twinkle star[D]ted slowly shifting to a roar
It [Em]was the call of soldiers, w[D]as the call of pain
It [Em]weakened his de[D]fenses,
calling out his [Em]name
[D]Why don't you put[Em] your
gun [D]down?[Em]
[D]Why don't you put[Em] your gun down
[D]A f[Em]lash of light and a burst[D] of flame
He relived the battlefield again
[A]He [Em]shook his memories filtered in[D]to him
His [Em]or ders open fire
[D]Don[Bm]'t tal[Em]k to me of mercy
[D]Justice is my aim
For [Em]everyone I kill
[D]I'll do it in her [Em]name
Oh
God, I showed no mercy
[D]Justice never came
Re[Em]venge could not revive her
[D]Now the blood's my [Em]shame[D]
Why don't you [Em]put your
gun [D]down?[A][Em][D]
Why don't you [Em]put your gun
[D]down?[A][Em][C][G]
[D]I fight for so many reaso[C]ns I[G][D]
fight for so many [Em]reas[D]ons
Why [Em]don't you put your gun [D]down?[Em]
[D]Well, don't you put[Em] your gun down
[D]Thr[A]ough dro[Em]wning lips,
we prayed for [D]miracles
Cause [Em]20's just too young [D]to have to go
Now [Em]we are prisoners o[D]f the sea
Reliv[Em]ing birth t[D]hrough battle like a dream
Our [Em]first source of destruction, [D]vengeance
and a gun, we [Em]all lost someone,
[D]Eddie, all had come undone
[Em]but when you saw us die and
[D]something in you snapped
although [Em]we are the fallen,
[D]you're the one who's [Em]trapped
[D]why don[Em]'t you put your
gun [G]down?[D][Em][D]
why [Em]don't you put your
gun [D]down?[A][Em]
[D]Why don[Em]'t you put your gun down
[A]Why [Em]don'[G]t yo[Em]u
put your gun [D]down[A][Em]
[D]Why don[Em]'t you put your gun dow[D]n?[Em]
[D]Why [A]don't you [Em]put your
gun [D]down?[A][Em]
[D]Why [Em]don't you put your
gun [D]down?[Em][D]
[Em]Put your gun d[D]own[Em][D]
[D][Em][G][D][Em][D]
