Bm In the cold dead air of a Saturday night D There's a moonlit sky, but it don't feel right A G The warnin' signs lit a spark inside F#m And you can't let it go Bm In a flash we see with a primitive eye D That the elephant pacing the room has died A G Whispered thoughts turn to wasted worlds F#m And everybody knows Em D G A D Bm You were caught in the middle of a knife fight long ago Em D G A Bm Counting scars from the battle in your mind, you're not alone Chorus: A Bm No, you can't push us back without a fight no more D G No, you can't keep us running away, keep us running A Bm No, you can't see the thunder in a lightning storm D G No, you can't see what's coming your way, see what's coming A Bm Reactors set to overload D G A Bm And the dam of the river's ready to explode In the smoke-filled air of a Saturday night There's a moonlit sky, but it don't feel right Now you walk the streets as a raging fire Burns out of control As the sirens blare, all the people are scared An invisible threat's hanging in the air Now you watch your step where there ain't just breath It's nightmare's taking hold You were caught in the middle of a knife fight long ago Every day's new reality's a minefield for the soul So immune to the damage, every night you take it home Counting scars from the battle in your mind, you're not alone Chorus Reactors set to overload And the dam of the river's ready to explode A Bm D 'Cause I can't breathe, I can't breathe A G And an atmosphere catalyzed by fear F#m Our sons and daughters scream Bm D I can't breathe, I can't breathe A G And we can't stand still while they aim to kill F#m Our sons and daughters dreams Chorus Reactors set to overload And the dam of the river's ready to explode The act is set to overthrow 'Cause the dam of the river's ready to explode You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA ![]() D ![]() Em ![]() F#m ![]() G ![]() Bm ![]() Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
