[Verse 1]
G
Thank you, Mr. Officer great
G
For all the things you said to me
Em                                  C
For all the good that you have ever done
G
Without you, what would I be?
G
You're the gas upon my flames
Em                                C
My love and rage all roll up into one
G                   Am              Em           C
For every time your gun goes off, a new rebel is born
G                  Am
So when there's 41 bullets
        Em          C              G
There's 41 thousand thorns in your side
             Am           Em       C
We'll take a ride down to precinct 29
D                            Am                 G
And we'll sing and dance and break the code of silence

[Verse 2]
G                    G
Thank you, governor, thank you, governor
Em                   C
To the mayor and the commissioner
G
Your monster is alive now
G
She's taken to the streets
Em                                    C              
Crashing through your opera house and tearing out the seats
G                     Am
For all the times you sign your name
Em                C
Someone out there dies
G               Am
Found a wallet, not a gun
Em               C             G
A mother wipes a tear from her eyes
   Am
We despise
            Em         C
Your hollow truths and honest lies
    D                Am           Em
Now you can sing the monster into slumber

[Verse 3]
G                     G
Homeland security vs. civil liberty
Em                                 C
I'm studying in the shadows of our state
G
I seen the bones they tried to hide
G
Cutthroat living's other side
Em                         C       C7
The Flood of US bathwater displaced
G                    Am               Em            C
The funeral march of all the victims of your power war
G                Am                   Em              C
Rob the right to steal the night and rebels shall be born
         G
For ever more
Am                          Em            C
You're the storm we should play after it pours
D [let ring]                       Em
And joy is sure to come after your silence
D  [break]                               
And joy is sure to come after your...
