[Intro]
                   C   G/B
Just another lullaby
G   Am   C   G/B   Dm

[Verse 1]
  C            G/B
Swept by their undertow
 G               Am
Moved quick to drown me slow
 C          G/B             Dm
Welcome to hell, is this it?
              C          G/B
But still, I surface in morning light
      G        Am
Strap up for another fight
 C             G/B           Dm
Lick the blood off of my fist

[Pre-Chorus]
         F
And the gods keep saying
  C      G/B  Dm
"You've been  warned
                           C
They'll leave you stranded in
  F     G
their storms"
                     C     G/B  Dm
And now the ranger smells like  war
                     C     F   G
Are monsters made or are they born?

[Chorus]
                      F
And I've been here before
Tell me how you sleep at night,
            G5   Am
it doesn't seem fair
How the hell you dreaming when
     E5            F
the world's a nightmare?
         F
Did you hear a single word we said
        G5      Am
'Cause we're screaming out loud
 G                    N.C.
But it seems our cries are
                     C   G/B   G
just another lullaby
 Am               C   G/B   F
Just another lullaby

[Verse 2]
 C             G/B
Come when the line is drawn
    G             Am
Be careful, what side you're on
 C                 G/B             Dm
Come through and twist up your wits
              C          G/B
But still, I surface in morning light
      G        Am
Strap up for another fight
  C          G/B             Dm
Then I feel so well with this

[Pre-Chorus]
         F
And the gods keep saying
  C      G/B  Dm
"You've been  warned
                           C
They'll leave you stranded in
  F     G
their storms"

[Chorus]
                      F
And I've been here before
Tell me how you sleep at night,
            G5   Am
it doesn't seem fair
How the hell you dreaming when
     E5            F
the world's a nightmare?
         F
Did you hear a single word we said
        G5      Am
'Cause we're screaming out loud,
but
 G
Nothing's coming out
F
 Take your pretty smile,
               G5        Am
 tell them everything's fine
Breaking all my bones
     E5          F
to sharpen your knife
         F
Did you hear a single word we said
        G5      Am
'Cause we're screaming out loud
 G                 Dm
But it seems our cries are
 F                   Am   G
just another lullaby
