A             E             D            E
Crossbows and arrows, the smoke in the shadows
       Bm        C#m    D              E
You'll lose your mind standing on the battle line
A             E            D              E
Starting to choke on your heart in your throat and
    Bm           C#m    D              E
It feels just like you can't remember how to fight

Bm     C#m     D        E
We'll crack before we shatter
F#m       A     D   E
We can't fall apart (Oh, oh)

Chorus:
Bm                  C#m
We don't get to die young
D                    E
Trouble keeping our head sometimes
F#m                  C#m
We just have to push on
D                    E
We don't get to give up this life
Bm                      C#m
All the breath in your lungs
      D                    E
Is stronger than the tears in your eyes
F#m        C#m              D
It's do or die, but we're alive
                 D
And while we're here, we'll hold the line

Don't hold your hands up, it's your final stand
Put your white flag down, oh don't you surrender now
No hero's story, there's no blaze of glory
But dawn only comes at the end of the night

We'll crack before we shatter
We can't fall apart (Oh, oh, oh)

Chorus

We don't get to die young
We just have to push on
We don't get to die young
Hold the line
