  Dm                    C
Today, we stood on the wall
                  A#                      C
We laughed at the sun, we laughed at the guns
                 Dm
We laughed at it all
          Dm                    C
And when they, they told us to go
                 A#                     C
We paid them no mind, like every other time
                    A
But little did we know

Today, I looked for a sign
With flames in my hands
A line in the sand between yours and mine
And it came like fire from below
Your greed led the call, my flag had to fall
But little did you know

Chorus:
         Dm                   A
Another day, your truth will come
             A#
You're gonna pay for what you
 F                   A
Pay for what you've done
                    Dm
You'll get what's yours
                A
And face your fraud
              A#                  F
You're gonna give me back what's mine
A                    Dm
Give me back what's mine!

        Dm
I ain't never been a coward
I aint never seen blood
         C
You had sold me an ocean
And I was lost in the flood
         A#
We were counting on a leader
          C
We were driven by need
          A
Couldn't take temptation
And we were blinded by greed
          Dm
You were steady as a sniper
We were waiting on a wire
       C
So we never saw it coming
When you ran from the fire
         A#
You can try intimidation
             C
Or you can try to ignore
              A
But when the time comes calling
Yeah! You are gonna get yours!

Chorus - x2

 F        A                   Dm A A#
Give me, give me back what's mine!
 F        A                   Dm A
Give me, give me back what's mine!
        A#    F        A                   Dm
What's mine, give me, give me back what's mine!
  A
What's mine!
  A#
What's mine!
 F       A           Dm
Give me back what's mine!

 Dm                     C
Today, we stood on the wall
                   A#                     C
We laughed at the sun, we laughed at the guns
                 Dm
We laughed at it all
          Dm                    C
And when they, they told us to go
                 A#                     C
We paid them no mind, like every other time
                   Dm
But little did we know
