Verse 1:
Dm A# F C
Do you know what's worth fighting for
Dm A# F C
When it's not worth dying for
Dm A# F C
Does it take your breath away
A# C
And you feel yourself suffocating
Dm A# F C
Does the pain weigh out the pride
Dm A# F C
And you look for a place to hide
Dm A# F C
Did someone break your heart inside
A# (C5)
You're in ruins
Chorus:
F C Dm
One, 21 guns
C A#
Lay down your arms
F C
Give up the fight
F C Dm
One, 21 guns
C A# F C
Throw up your arms into the sky,
A# F C
You and I
Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
Chorus:
F C Dm
One, 21 guns
C A#
Lay down your arms
F C
Give up the fight
F C Dm
One, 21 guns
C A# F C
Throw up your arms into the sky,
A# F C
You and I
Bridge:
Dm A# F C
Did you try to live on your own
Dm A# F A
When you burned down the house and home
Dm A# F A
Did you stand too close to the fire
A# A# C C
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

About this song: 21 Guns
Billie Joe Armstrong told Q magazine: "It brings up 21st Century Breakdown in a lot of ways, and the 21 gun-salute for someone that's fallen, but done in an arena rock 'n' roll sort of way." Source (21 Guns Songfacts).Read more on Last.fm.
