Thrice – Blood on the Sand
[Intro]
Cm Ab Fm Bb (4x)
[Verse 1]
Cm Ab Fm Bb Cm Ab Fm Bb
We wave our flags, we swallow fear like medicine
Cm Ab Fm Bb Cm Ab Fm Bb
We kiss the hands of profiteers and their congressmen
Cm Ab Eb
But I've seen too much (of this fear and hate)
Cm Ab Eb
I've had enough (and I'm not afraid)
Cm Ab Eb Cm Ab Eb
To raise a shout, to make it clear — this has to end
[Chorus]
Cm Eb Ab Fm
There's blood on the sand, there's blood in the street
Cm Eb Ab Fm
And there's a gun in my hand, or there might as well be
Cm Eb Ab Fm Cm Eb Ab Fm
And I'm sick of it — I'm so sick of this
[Verse 2]
Cm Ab Fm Bb Cm Ab Fm Bb
We panic at the sight of different colored skin
Cm Ab Fm Bb Cm Ab Fm Bb
And we've got a plan to justify each mess we're in
Cm Ab Eb
But I've seen too much (of this fear and hate)
Cm Ab Eb
I've had enough (and I'm not afraid)
Cm Ab Eb Cm Ab Eb
To take a stand, to make it right — this has to end
[Chorus]
Cm Eb Ab Fm
There's blood on the sand, there's blood in the street
Cm Eb Ab Fm
And there's a gun in my hand, or there might as well be
Cm Eb Ab Fm Cm Eb Ab Fm
And I'm sick of it — I'm so sick of this
[Bridge]
Ab Fm Cm Bb
Fear will kill your mind and steal your love as sure as anything
Ab Fm Cm Bb
Fear will rob you blind and make you numb to other's suffering
Ab Fm Cm Bb
And I've felt it's touch too many times and I've had enough
Ab Fm
I've had enough
[Chorus]
Cm Eb Ab Fm
There's blood on the sand, there's blood in the street
Cm Eb Ab Fm
And there's a gun in my hand, or there might as well be
Cm Eb Ab Fm Cm Eb Ab Fm
And I'm sick of it — I'm so sick of this
[Ending Chorus]
Cm Eb Ab Fm
There's blood on the sand, there's blood in the street
Cm Eb Ab Fm
And there's a gun in your hand, or there might as well be
Cm Eb Ab Fm Cm Eb Ab Fm
Are you sick of it? — I'm so sick of this
Cm Eb Ab Fm Cm Eb Ab Fm
Yes, I'm sick. I'm sick of this. I'm so sick of this.
