Em G
When your faith lights the canon
F G
When your pride is pulling triggers
Em G
And nobody is left standing
F G
Tell me where's the God in that
Em G
You can say the war is over
F G
Try and sell that to a mother
Em G
Sent away her heart and got back a stone
F G
Now it's quieter than she's ever known
Em G
Takes one second to breathe in and out
F G
One decision to believe or doubt
Em G
One heart beating echoes in a crowd
F G
Cryin' for change and only tears get out
[Chorus]
Am G
Mama's cryin' bullets in the sky

Raining, raining tears fall on each side
Am G
Fight for love don't love the fight

Mama's cryin' bullets in the sky
[Verse]
Em G
Now the fewer and the braver
F G
Hope and pray their faith won't waiver
Em G
Then fate taps them on the shoulder
F G
A blink of an eye
Em G F
The path of fear we're being led to tread

Is paved with wasted life
[Chorus]

Mama's cryin' bullets in the sky

Raining, raining tears fall on each side

Fight for love don't love the fight
