Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Every  night
You  wrote another line
With  a blood, broken, bottle
And  every day
You  wish it away
Why  don't you pull the pin
 On that grenade you  coddle
I  wanted to believe
Bodies  swinging from trees
Struggling  to stand
With  your head in your hands
A  stoic last stand
Of  a dying man
I  wanted to believe
 As I  watched your world
 Crumble in your hands
I  wanted to believe
 As  you raised your glass
 To your last stand
And  I wanted to believe
You  would win
 The war  in your head
 That I did not understand
 That I did  not understand
Every  night
 The questions  poured out
 Of your wounded  eyes
 Damn dark  things
Every  day
 You used  to pray
Listen  to the black raven sing
You  wanted to believe
As  you were falling to your knees
Struggling  to stand
 With your  life in your hand
The  sad last stand
Of  a dyin' man
I  wanted to believe
 As I  watched your world
Crumble  in your hands
 I wanted to believe
 As you raised  your glass
 To your last stand
 And I wanted to believe
 You would win
 The war  in your head
 That I did not understand
That  I did not understand
I  wanted to believe
 As I  watch your world
Crumble  in your hands
 I wanted to believe
 As you  raised your glass
 To your last stand
 And I wanted to believe
 You would win
 The war  in your head
 That I did not understand
 That I did  not understand
And  the questions pour out,
And  the questions pour out
And  the questions pour out
And  the questions pour out
