[Verse 1]
D#m
Here comes the one I'm counting on
C#
They think we're only just a pawn
B F#
How long until they end their time?
D#m C#
I hear the shouting in the streets where all the corners seem to meet
B F#
We fight another hidden crime
[Chorus]
D#m A#m
The reason 27 kids are gonna speak their minds
B F#
Maybe take it all the way
D#m A#
Every single kid is gonna take their fine
B F#
But only we wrote the signs
D#m A#m
20 generations are an open fire
B F#
All we have is written on the floor
D#m A#
27 kids are gonna speak their minds
B F#
So tell me what you're waiting for?
[Verse 2]
D#m
Her arms are wrapped around the tree
C#
Black leaves are falling in the breeze
B F#
They'll never see until it's gone
D#m
She cries for help
A# B F#
She has to give the kids a single chance, but now it's counting the day she's on
[Chorus]
D#m A#m
The reason 27 kids are gonna speak their minds
B F#
Maybe take it all the way
D#m A#
Every single kid is gonna take their fine
B F#
But only we wrote the signs
D#m A#m
20 generations are an open fire
B F#
All we have is written on the floor
D#m A#
27 kids are gonna speak their minds
B F#
So tell me what you're waiting for?
[Bridge]
E B F#
The times, they are changing all the while
E B C#
So why am I saving now?
[Chorus]
D#m A#m
The reason 27 kids are gonna speak their minds
B F#
Maybe take it all the way
D#m A#
Every single kid is gonna take their fine
B F#
But only we wrote the signs
D#m A#m
20 generations are an open fire
B F#
All we have is written on the floor
D#m A#
27 kids are gonna speak their minds
B F#
So tell me what you're waiting for?
B F#
Tell me what you're waiting for?
B F#
Tell me what you're waiting for?
B F#
Tell me what you're waiting for?
