The Violence Chords

(ver. 1)
Rise Against
[Intro]
A#m

[Verse 1]
A#m
Dancing on the crumbling precipice
A#m
The rocks are coming loose just at the edge
         C#
Are we laughing?
         C#
Are we crying?
          D#
Are we drowning?
          D#
Are we dead?
                            A#m
Or was it all a dream?

A#m
The bombs are getting closer everyday
A#m
'That can never happen here' we used to say
             C#
Have these wars come to our doorstep?
            D#
Has this moment finally come?
                                A#m
Or was it all a dream?


[Chorus]
                F#
Are we not good enough?
                G#
Are we not brave enough?
          A#m                                   C#
Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?
                F#
Are we not good enough?
                G#
Are we not brave enough?
    A#m
To become something greater
            C#
Than the violence in our nature?
                F#              G#
Are we not good enough 
                            A#m
or was it all a dream?


[Verse 2]
A#m
To a pretty time and fate are we condemned
A#m
Or maybe we're a book without an end
             C#
We're not stories, we're not actors
          D#
We're awake and in control
                                A#m
And this is not a dream

A#m
So can we break this mold
A#m
And set in motion something new
             C#
Forgetting what we know
        D#
An evolution overdue
            C#
Fight the current
                C#
Pull the the ripcord
        D#
Get away!


[Chorus]
                F#
Are we not good enough?
                G#
Are we not brave enough?
          A#m                                   C#
Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?
                F#
Are we not good enough?
                G#
Are we not brave enough?
    A#m
To become something greater
            C#
Than the violence in our nature?
                F#              G#      A#m
Are we not good enough 


[Bridge]
G# 
We travel back
G#
To what we take
G#
We need a storm
                  A#m
Let's pray for rain now
    F#                     G#
To wash these roads away
G#
Let's get off track and wander far
                                A#m
Same roads reducing destinations
     F#                 G#
Do nothing but show our heart
G#
We're talking in our sleep
                                A#m
And sleeping through our lives
                        F#                      A#m
We dream of the places where we never die
                        F#
We step from our shadows
                    A#m
And into the light


[Chorus]
                F#
Are we not good enough?
                G#
Are we not brave enough?
          A#m                                   C#
Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?
                F#
Are we not good enough?
                G#
Are we not brave enough?
    A#m
To become something greater
            C#
Than the violence in our nature?
                F#
Are we not good enough?
                G#
Are we not brave enough?

                F#              G#
Are we not good enough 
                            A#m
or was it all a dream?
