Lower The Flag

[Intro] |      |      | 2x [Verse] Word just came from upstate Joe Lower the flag again   This time it’s Dayton southwest Ohio Last night El Paso Texas counted 22 dead [Instrumental] |      |      | 2x [Verse] Soon the brass will offer up their thoughts and prayers Soon there’ll be protests in the street   And the media from out of town Will chew it up and spit it out [Pre-Chorus] Then move on to the next one Before we even grieve Yeah then move on to the next one Before we even grieve [Chorus] Some say we start to die on the day that we’re born But no one wants to live life on their knees Maybe we start to die on the day that we’re born But we deserve to live life in between [Instrumental] |      |      | 2x [Verse] A husband kissed the cross that bears his Margie’s name And promises he’ll see her once again    Won’t see her children grow Won’t see their love grow old [Pre-Chorus] Last night their dream became a nightmare And their nightmare has no end Last night their dream became a nightmare And their nightmare has no end [Chorus] Some say we start to die on the day that we’re born But no one wants to live life on their knees Maybe we start to die on the day that we’re born But we deserve to live life in between [Bridge] These days it’s hard to sleep When I lay my head down What if it was your loved one Laying on the ground I’m left to think about What if what now? Dear God I wanna pray But tonight I have my doubts When I think about those families now [Instrumental] |    /  |      | 2x [Bridge 2] If there’s something we can talk about let’s talk about it If there’s something we can figure out let’s figure it out If there’s something we can talk about let’s talk about it If there’s something we can figure out let’s figure it out If there’s something we can talk about let’s talk about it (El Paso Texas Dayton Ohio) If there’s something we can figure out let’s figure it out (Las Vegas Nevada Sebring Florida) If there’s something we can talk about let’s talk about it (Orlando Florida) If there’s something we can figure out let’s figure it out (Penn State University) If there’s something we can talk about let’s talk about it (Aurora Illinois Virginia Beach Virginia) If there’s something we can figure out let’s figure it out (Gilroy California Pittsburgh Pennsylvania) If there’s something we can talk about let’s talk about it (Marjory Stoneman Douglas High) If there’s something we can figure out let’s figure it out (Columbine Columbine) If there’s something we can talk about let’s talk about it (Sandy Hook Elementary) If there’s something we can figure out let’s figure it out [Chorus] Some say we start to die on the day that we’re born But no one wants to live life on their knees Maybe we start to die on the day that we’re born You believe what you want to believe But we deserve to live life in between [Instrumental] |      |      | 2x [Outro] Word just came from upstate Joe Am           C    Fadd9  Lower the flag again
