Rise Against

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,
