  A#
Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park
"Do you ever get the feeling that
you’re missing the mark?"
D#
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold

Written up in marker on a factory sign
"I struggle with the feeling that
my life isn’t mine"
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold

        F
See the arrow they shot trying to tear us apart
Take the fire from my belly and
the beat from my heart
D#
Still, I won’t let go
Still, I won’t let go
    A# D#
Of you
           A#
'Cause you do

Chorus:
     F                            D#
Oh, you use your heart as a weapon
                   A#
And it hurts like heaven

On every street, every car, every surface, a name
Tonight, the streets are ours
And we’re writing and saying
"Don’t let 'em take control"
No, we won’t let 'em take control


Yes, I feel a little bit nervous
Yes, I feel nervous and I cannot relax
How come they’re out to get us?
How come they’re out when they don’t know the facts?

So on a concrete canvas under cover of dark
On a concrete canvas, I’ll go making my mark
Armed with a spraycan soul
I’ll be armed with a spraycan soul
And you
Oh, you

Chorus

F   D# A#       Dm
Yeah,    it's true
      F
When you
                          D#
Use your heart as a weapon
                    A#   D# A#
Then it hurts like heaven
