My ammunition won't load into my gun
My inhibitions, they fall like the weight from a stone

Bridge:
(Split into 2 parts. Part one is guitar 1 playing power chords
Part two is guitar 2 playing a lead part)
Part 1:
B5 A5 G5
Mine eyes have seen the glory of a love that does transcend
B5 A5 G5 A5
Mine eyes have seen the worst inside of man
B5 A5 G5
And the fear is like a fallen bridge, a broken promise
B5 A5 G5 G5
And the proof is in the bloodshot eyes of the one who failed to see
