Intro: Am   F  (2x)   

C                              G 
Shot down, by your bullets 

           C                                 G 
They shatter, my faith and my bones 

                          F 
If you would listen, your words they hurt 

                          C 
They creep right under my skin 

                      G 
They cut so deep, oh 

Dm              F                    Am 
Can't you understand, I don't want battles, battles, battles 

            Dm               F 
And if you lay them in my hand 

Am 
I won't fight battles, battles, battles 

            F       C 
Oh tell me why 

                   G                             F 
We work so hard to break these bones 

     F     C                  G 
Can we try, to lay down 

                             Am 
These sticks and stones, 

                F 
Sticks and stones,  

C                         G 
We crash and fall, together 

      C                      G 
So sad, we don't remember  

                F 
Why we're tearing us apart 

                       C                   G 
When I can feel the cries, the cries in my heart, 


Dm              F                    Am 
Can't you understand, I don't want battles, battles, battles 

                Dm                   F 
And if you lay them in my hand 

                   Am 
I won't fight battles, battles, battles 

                 F   C 
Oh tell me why 

                  G                             F 
We work so hard to break these bones 

     F     C                  G 
Can we try, to lay down 

Am 
These sticks and stones, 

                F 
Sticks and stones,  

Am F 

G 
Why does it have to be so hard just surrender 

                                        F 
When we got nothing left, nothing left to loose 

Dm              F                                Am 
Can't you understand, I don't want battles, battles, battles 

                 Dm                  F 
And if you lay them in my hand 

                   Am 
I won't fight battles, battles, battles 

                 F   C 
Oh tell me why 

                  G                              F 
We work so hard to break these bones 

C                          G 
Can we try, to lay down 

Am 
These sticks and stones, 

                F 
Sticks and stones.
