The Alarm


Tom: G

G5                                              Cadd9
I hate a song that makes you feel like youre no good
G5                                              Cadd9
I hate a song that makes you feel like youre nobody
G5
I hate a song that makes you feel like youre too young,
                         Cadd9
too old, too this or too that
G5
I hate a song that makes you feel like youve been knocked down,
                  Cadd9
and theres no way back
G5
Well im gonna fight those songs, with every last breath
               Cadd9   G5
i've got in my body.  i'm gonna fight those songs
     Cadd9
with one guitar
                   G5                                 Cadd9
One guitar.  Cause im a soldier marching in an army I got no gun to shoot
               G5
all ive got is one guitar


                  (Continue G5 - Cadd9)


Could be the middle of night or the middle of the street
It could be uptown, downtown or even where you sleep
I hear the marching drum I hear a song unsung
It could be your dream, my dream I'm not the only one

Cause im a soldier marching in an army I got no gun to shoot
all ive got is one guitar


I see the risin smoke I hear a heartbreak joke
All of my brothers and sisters I think it's time we spoke
I've only got six strings but like a bell they ring
It's like a jet plane, insane crashin' in my brain

Cause im a soldier marching in an army I got no gun to shoot
all ive got is one guitar


So if you get knocked down you gotta take a stand
For all the outcast, dead last who need a helping hand
You've got to raise your voice raise it up loud
You've got to raise your voice above the crowd
