Behind Closed Doors by Rise Against
[Intro]
Em D C
Chairs thrown and tables toppled,
G Am
Hands armed with broken bottles,
D C
Standing no chance to win but,
D
We're not running, We're not running,
[Interlude]
Em D C G Am D C D Em
[Verse 1]
D C
There's a point I think we're missing,
G Am
It's in the air we raise our fists in,
D C
In the smiles we cast each other,
D Em
My sister, my brother,
D C
About the time we gave up hoping,
G Am
We never find these locks still open,
D
Stumbling on stones unturned,
C D Em D C
The hurt we feel, we all have earned,
[Pre-chorus]
G Am D
The lines we cross in search of change,
C D Em D C
But all they see is treason,
[Chorus]
D Em G C
Although we have no obligation to stay alive,
D Em G C
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive,
D Em
Breakout, I won't be left here,
C D Em
Behind closed doors
[Verse 2]
D C
Bonfires burn like beacons,
G Am
Guiding the lost and weakened,
D
Flames dance on crashing waves,
C Em
Guiding ships who've gone astray,
D C
Time out, let's stop to think this through,
G Am
We've all got better things to do,
C
Than talk in circles, run in place,
D Em
Answers inches from our face,
[Chorus]
D C D Em G C
Although we have no obligation to stay alive,
D Em G C
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive,
D Em
Breakout, I won't be left here,
C D Em
Behind closed doors
[Solo]
C D C D Em D Em D
[Bridge]
C D
Black eyes, broken fingers,
C D Em
Blood drips and I let it run,
D Em D
Down my lips into my swollen gums,
C D
When hope is nonexistent,
C D Em
Our instincts all scream "Run!"
D Em D C
We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues,
[Chorus]
D Em G C
Although we have no obligation to stay alive,
D Em {N.C.} C
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive,
D Em
Breakout, I won't be left here,
C D Em D C
Behind closed doors (Behind closed doors)
D Em G C
Although we have no obligation to stay alive,
D Em G C
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive,
D Em
Breakout, I won't be left here,
C D Em
Behind closed doors
