People Live Here Lyrics

VRS 1
My God is better than yours
And the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at all
RRIN 1
I followed you out in the storm
But it carried you off

A#|-3/5-3---1---|
F#|-0---0---0---|
C#|-0---0---0---|
G#|-------------|
D#|-------------|
And I burned every pic - ture of yours
Was that not enough?
VRS 2
My gun is bigger than yours
So let's arm the mas - ses and see what the bas - tards do then
RRIN 2
Walking tall once set us apart
Now we're down on all fours
d#|-------------|
A#|-3/5-3---1---|
F#|-0---0---0---|
C#|-0---0---0---|
G#|-------------|
D#|-------------|
Do you cry my name in the dark
like I do yours?
PR-HORUS 1
These storms are getting stronger now
The trusses all bend and sway
Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray
HORUS 1
As the waves crash high
And the shore - line disappears
And I'll scream to the sky
G n.c.
"Hey, people live here."

VRS 3
My dreams are not unlike yours
They long for the safe - ty and break like a glass chandelier
RRIN 3
But there's laughter and oh, there is love
Just past the edge of our fears
And there's chaos when push comes to shove
But it's music to my ears
PR-HORUS 2
And may you be in Heaven before the De - vil knows you're dead
And may these winds be al - ways at your back
HORUS 2
And when we're all just ghosts
And the madness overtakes us
I will look at the ashes
G n.c. G | |
And say, "People lived here."

(continue same hammer-on as above,
no ringing high E string)
From the penthouse to the ho - ly martyr
From sea to shining sea
From the coffins full of kindergartners
Is this what you call free?
From the hate that drips from all of your crosses
Am G Fsus2 | Fmaj7sus2
Are your hands so clean?
And there's a wildfire, and it's spreading far
Am G F | | G | | G (ring) |
From sea to shining sea
INL HORUS
When we're all just ghosts
And the madness overtakes us
I will scream to the sky,
yeah I'll scream to the sky
I will scream to the sky

"Hey, people live here."
