B5
gonna make a record in the month of may

E5 G5
gonna make a record in the month of may
A5 B5
when the violent wind blows the wires away

month of may , it’s a violent thing

in the city their hearts start to sing
E5 G5
well , some people singing sounds like screaming
A5 B5
used to doubt it but now i believe it

month of may , everybody sing love

in the city , watch it from above
E5 G5
and just when i knew what i wanted to say
A5 B5
the violent wind blew the wires away

we were shocked in the suburbs

now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight

the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
E5 G5
well , some things are pure and some things are right
A5 B5
but the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight
E5 G5
i said some things are pure and some things are right
A5 B5
but the kids are still with their arms folded tight

so young , so young

so much pain for someone so young , well
E5 G5
i know it’s heavy , i know it ain’t light
A5 B5
but how you gonna lift it with your arms folded tight

first of the town

that’s why we’re still driving around
E5 G5
and around and around and around and around
A5 B5
and around and around and around and around ( and around and around and around and around )

two – thousand nine , two – thousand ten

wanna make a record how i felt then
E5 G5
when i stood outside in the month of may
A5 B5
and watched the violent wind blow the wires away

if i died in the month of may

let the wind take my body away , then
E5 G5
wish i may or i wish i might
A5 B5
you can meet me down there with my arms folded tight

wires away
