DmDo you Bbknow what's worth Ffighting Cfor,

DmDoes the Bbpain weigh Fout the Cpride?

DmAnd you Bblook for a Fplace to Chide?

DmDid someBbone break your Fheart inCside?

You're in Bbruins

FOne, C21 Dmguns

CLay down your Bbarms

Give Fup the Cfight

FOne, C21 Dmguns

CThrow up your Bbarms

Finto the Csky

You and BbI

DmWhen you're Bbat the Fend of the Croad

DmAnd you Bblost all Fsense of Ccontrol

DmAnd your Bbthoughts have Ftaken their Ctoll

When your Bbmind breaks the spirit of your Csoul
