Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x4
 Bang Bang go the coffin  nails
 Like a breath  exhaled and gone  forever
 Seems like just yesterday
How  did I miss the red  flags
Raised?  Think back to days  we laughed
 We braved  these bitter storms  together
Brought  to his knees  he cried,
 But on his feet  he died
 What God  could damn a har-eart?
 And what God  drove us apa-hart  (“Apart”)?
   N/C
 What God co-hould (“Could”)
 Make it stop,  let this end
 Eighteen years  pushed to the ledge.
 It’s come this,  a weightless step
 On the way  down singing
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Post-Chorus:  x2
 Bang bang from the closet  walls
 The schoolhouse  halls, the shotgun’s  loaded
 Push me and I’ll  push back
 I’m done asking, I  demand
From  a nation under  God
 I feel  its love like a cattle  prod
 I’m born free but still  they hate
 I’m born me, no, I  can’t change
 It’s always darkest  just before  the dawn
 So stay  awake with me
 N/C
 LETS PROVE THEM WRONG
 Make it stop,  let this end
 Eighteen years  pushed to the ledge.
 It’s come this,  a weightless step
 On the way  down singing
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 The cold river washed  him away
 But how  could we forget
 The gatherings  hold candles
 But not their tongues
 And too  much blood has flown  from the wrists
 Of the children  shamed for those  they chose to kiss
 Who will rise  to stop the blood?
 We’re counting for,  insisting on
 A different beat,  yeah, a brand new song-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
A  brand new  song-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Make it stop,  make this end
 This life chose me,  I'm not lost in sin.
 And proud I stand  of who I am
 I plan to go  on living!
 Make it stop,  make this end
 All these years  pushed to the ledge.
 And proud I stand  of who I am
 I plan to go  on living!
