                     C  G         Am         F
I'll always be the stone, not the one who throws it
                     C  G            Am         F
I'll always be the road, that's the path I've chosen
                  C  G           Am        F
Know you're not alone when your heart is broken
                    C G
Say, I just wanna know
                    Am F
Yeah, I just wanna know

Chorus:
     C     G          Am           F
Can we for once just live with no guns?
       C             G
And I tell, tell no lies
           Am           F
We're not born to just die

        C                      G
People say, people say, what goes around
        Am   F
comes around
       C            G               Am F
But I won't, no, I won't shoot you down

I'll always be the bridge, not the one who burns it
I'll always be the kid with open arms deserving
Of all the love you give in a world that's hurting
Say, we just want to live
Yeah, we just want to live

Chorus:
So can we for once just live with no guns?
And I tell, tell no lie
We're not born to just die

People say, people say what goes around comes around
But I won't, no, I won't shoot you down
Said I won't, no, I won't shoot you down

   C      G        Am  F
I won't shoot you down
   C      G        Am  F
I won't shoot you down
 C         G          Am           F
Can we for once just live with no guns?

People say, people say what goes around
comes around
But I won't, no, I won't shoot you down
People say, people say what goes around
comes around
But I won't, no, I won't shoot you down

I won't shoot you down
I won't shoot you down
I won't shoot you down
No, I won't
No, I won't
Shoot you down
