Fm C# D# You've been hanging your conscious on the fence A#m C Cause you can't hold it Fm C# D# An empty promise laid to rest A#m C A life is stolen And there will be no consequence For what you've broken Don't you know, what your father said? C# D# We are the only We are the brave C# D# We are America, but We are to blame Chorus: Fm Stand up, Stand up, Can you hear me now G# All I, All I Really want now is C# Your voice, Your voice Screaming out loud, saying D# We can make it, or we can make it Fm Fist up, Fist up! Don't put your hands down G# All I, All I Really want now is C# Your voice, Your voice Screaming out loud, saying D# We can make it, or we can make it We've been biting our tongues for far too long And they know it They told us that hope would carry on They really had us going There will be no consequence For your sinful hypnosis Don't you know, what your father said? We are the only, we are the brave We are America, but we are to blame Chorus I drew a line out in the sand And then I gave it up I watched it turn to dust America Another year has gone again I draw another one And this time I won't run America You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  C  C#  D#  Fm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
