• C

Capo 4 

Intro: C 

Verse 1: 

C 
I?m the type of kid to push away  
                           Am 
girls like you who get too close to me. 
                                 F 
This ain't your front porch on Division Street where  
                                  G 
you crashed your car and then you blamed it on a sneeze.  

Well god bless you, darling, I mean it.  


C 
You?re the type of girl who said she don?t believe in god,  
           Am 
but you believed in me.  
                         F 
We never missed our opportunity here, 
                         G 
we just grew up until we found some room to breathe.  

Well god bless us, darling, we need it.  

 
               C 
We need a revolution. 
                  Am 
Why else are we standing here? Yeah.  
              F                    G 
Take off our gloves, put down our guns,  
             C 
'til everyone sings, yeah.  



Verse 2:
 
C 
We?re the type of kids who burned the whole damn forest down, 
                 Am 
we looked like criminals. 
                           F 
How we got out alive, it?s biblical and I, 
                                 G 
felt something strange behind my knees. 

Well... nothing exists 'til you see it. 


C                                                        Am 
We can turn back now, or we can burn a whole 'nother town,  
                                                        F 
everybody gets out, it?s just that night we don?t talk about. 
                                                            
I?m sick of life decisions, this cut dry life we live in, 
G 
if I did you wrong, I?m sorry, you?re just so god damn pretty. Yeah! 


               C 
We need a revolution. 
                  Am 
Why else are we standing here? Yeah.  
              F                        G 
Take off our gloves, look towards the sun,  
             C 
'til everyone sings, yeah.  


C 
  Whoaaa... whoa-ohh. 
Am 
  Whoaaa whoa-ohh. 
F          G            C 
Whoaaa ohhh oh oh ohhh. 




Verse 3:
 
C 
  If I sang you to sleep, would you listen?  
                                            
I?d tell you all the things that I?ve been missing.  
        Am 
When words flow like river bends,  
                                   F 
I?ve burned too many cigarettes at home. 
                 C 
Where did you go?  
                               Am 
I hated you for leaving... got sick of writing letters on the weekend. 
   F 
My thoughts were clear like cellophane, 
   G                             C 
I had to see you face to face at home.  

                 C 
So where do we go? 
                    Am 
Now that we?re both standing here, yeah.  
                   F                    G 
We?ll take off our gloves, put down our guns,  
                C 
'til everyone- sings, sings, sings! 


               C 
We need a revolution. 
                  Am 
Why else are we standing here? Yeah.  
              F                        G 
Take off our gloves, look towards the sun,  
             C 
'til everyone sings, yeah.  

C 
  Whoaaa... whoa-ohh. 
  (Yeah!) 
Am 
  Whoaaa whoa-ohh. 
  (We need a revolution.) 
F         G 
  Whoaaa... whoa-ohh. 
  (We need a revolution.) 
C 
  Yeaaaaah!
