Dm A# It took his breath away, holding the bank page F C6 He got the letter, they're going to take the house away Dm A# About to have a daughter, he yells it in the air F C6 A# Feeling the weight of the world that just don't care He lit a cigarette felt in on his lip Driving home on a long road with regret He pulls the window down shouts it out loud Pushing the pedal and praying lord help us now He’s looking for a reason watching the sun coming down Chorus: Dm A# Can you hear when we call, there when we fall? F C Standing our backs against the wall Dm A# Top of our lungs, hallelujah F C Where pain and love bleed into one Dm A# F Baby when all you see is darkness C Coming down now Dm A# F We all need forgiveness C Coming round now Dm F (Oh, oh, oh oh...) C Coming down now It was Monday night under the street lights She’s turning seventeen in seven nights Out on the fairgrounds walking in monotone She kicks a bottle as empty as her soul On the road alone in a house that’s half home They give her pills just to kill when she feels alone She’s looking for a reason watching the sun coming down Chorus A# Take these broken streets C Take these broken dreams Hold my hand like we were walking free A# Tell me it will change I see it in your face C The hope the fear the love the faith I’m working late again slaving to make the rent I’m slanging coffee with dreams heavy as cement They’re coming one by one the face of falling love I write a song with a prayer as I slide the cup Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  C6  Dm  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
