Rise Against - Behind Closed Doors

behind closed doors by rise against
it sounds best with capo 1 and capo 2

Em D
chairs thrown and tables toppled ,

C G
hands armed with broken bottles ,

A D
standing no chance to win but ,
C D
we’re not running , we’re not running ,

Em D C G A D C D x1

Em D
there’s a point i think we’re missing ,

C G
it’s in the air we raise our fists in ,

A D
in the smiles we cast each other ,

C D
my sister , my brother ,

Em D
about the time we gave up hoping ,

C G
we never find these locks still open ,

A D
stumbling on stones unturned ,

C D Em D
the hurt we feel , we all have earned ,

C G A
the lines we cross in search of change ,

D C D Em
but all they see is treason ,

chorus :

D C D Em G C
although we have no obligation to stay alive ,

D Em G C
on broken backs we beg for mercy , we will survive ,

D Em
breakout , i won’t be left here ,

C D Em
behind closed doors ,

Em D
bonfires burn like beacons ,

C G
guiding the lost and weakened ,

A D
flames dance on crashing waves ,

C D
guiding ships who’ve gone astray ,

Em D C
time out , let’s stop to think this through ,

G A
we’ve all got better things to do ,

D C
than talk in circles , run in place ,

D Em
answers inches from our face ,

[ chorus ]

C x3 D x3 C x3 D x3 Em D Em D

C x3 D x3
black eyes , broken fingers ,

C x3 D x3 Em
blood drips and i let it run ,

D Em D
down my lips into my swollen gums ,

C x3 D x3
when hope is nonexistent ,

C x3 D x3 Em
our instincts all scream “run!”

D Em D C
we never turn our backs or even bite our tongues ,

[ chorus ]

D C D Em G C
although we have no obligation to stay alive ,

D Em G C
on broken backs we beg for mercy , we will survive ,

D Em
breakout , i won’t be left here ,

C D Em
behind closed doors ,
