Chords for Alter Bridge - Pawns & Kings (Official Video)

Tear [C#] down the walls and show your courage as you heed the call
[A] Embarking [C#] on the journey yet [G#] to come
_ _ [C#] Where is the time [Bm] to waste the wretched and [A#m] the heartless?
Take [A] your future with you and there will [C#] be time _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Stand up, good old, to the ground
[Bm] Don't let the [A#m] bastards quiet you [A] down
It's time to show [G#] the devil what [C#] we are
_ [F#m] _ [Fm] Surrender nevermore, [Bm] though deep inside [A#m] we're battle-worn
[A] We'll never let [G#m] them tear this land [C#] _ apart
[G#] No, for all of [D] the hope that it [E] brings
And the [F#] weapons we could [Fm] be kings if we [D] believe
Against [E] all lies we will [C#] set it [A] free
[C#] _ _ _
_ [F#] Release [F] the hounds of [Bm] doom and sheath the blade
We cannot [A] lose, we're fighting for the [C#] only thing we _ know
[F#m] And when [C#] it's said and [Bm] done, our victory [A#m] is gain for [A] love
That one may [G#m] sacrifice the flesh [C#] and _ _
_ [G#] bones
[C] For all of [D] the hope that [E] it brings
And the [F#] weapons we could [C#] be kings [Fm] if we [D] believe _
Against [E] all lies we will [F#] survive
[G#] _
_ [C#] _ The last shall [D] be first, kill [E] this time
If in [F#] the end we're still [C#] alive
Our [D] victory will prove [Fm] in time that we were
[F#m] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ We [F#] must stand up for [B] _ our
Arch [C#] _ _ _
[B] of the dawn, _ [F#m] shiver us all but calm
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Stand [Dm] _
_ [C#] your head _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ at your crown, don't cry
Your courage their demon
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [A#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [G#m] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ We will _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
stand up _ [F] _ _ [C#] _ _
for our _ _ _ _
For all [D] of the hope that [E] it brings
And the [F#] weapons we could [F] be kings
The meek [D] shall see, so do [Fm] I
[C#] _
For all of [D] the hope that [E] it brings
And the weapons [F#] we could [C#] be kings
If we [D] believe against [E] all lies we will [C#] _ [G#] survive
_ [C#] _ The last shall [D] be first, kill [E] this time
If in [F#] the end we're still [C#] _ alive
Our [D] victory will [Fm] justify that we [C#] are
We are [D#] _ _ [Fm] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [F#] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm]
kings, [Bm] let [A#m] sovereign wings [A] give strength [C#]
where there is [F] not
[F#m] And _ [Fm]
kings [B] the meek [A#m] shall [A] sing until [G#]
God's will [C#] is done
