              *=strum twice  
 
VERSE  
 
F#5*  
She wasn't even sixteen  
F#5*                           D5       B5  
And now her blood is on your head  
F#5*  
No chance to leave her alive  
F#5*                           D5        B5  
You stole from her another chance  
 
  
 
D5         B5  
I wasn't asking for it  
F#5             A5  
But now you're asking for it  
D5          B5            F#5  
You cannot shame or bury me  
 
D5         B5  
I wasn't asking for it  
F#5             A5  
You cannot break my spirit  
D5    C#5   B5  C#5           
Your lie won't even change  
 
 
BRIDGE  
 
F#5*  
Chickenshit conformist for survival  
D5    C#5   B5  C#5    
We're fighters  
F#5   
You're nothing but a collar and a bullet  
F#5  
Not guts, no heart, no worthy  
D5       B5         C#5    
Take it, this is your warning  
 
 
D5         B5  
I wasn't asking for it  
F#5             A5  
But now you're asking for it  
B5          B5            F#5  
You cannot shame or bury me  
 
D5         B5  
I wasn't asking for it  
F#5             A5  
You cannot break my spirit  
D5    C#5   B5  C#5  
Your lie won't even chance  
 
F#5          A5  
I shut my eyes in 88  
 
 
F#5     G#5           A5           B5  
You're nothing but a plague to the planet  
F#5     G#5           A5           B5  
You're nothing but a plague to the planet  
F#5     G#5           A5           B5  
You're nothing but a plague to the planet  
F#5     G#5           A5           B5  
You're nothing but a plague
