Am C Dm F
Am C Dm F
[Verse 1]
Am C Dm
He'd trade his guns for love
F Am
But he's caught in the crossfire
C Dm
And he keeps wakin' up
F Am
But it's not to the sound of birds
C Dm
The tyranny the violent streets
F Am
Deprived of all that we're blessed with
C Dm F
And we can't get enough no
[Chorus]
Am C
Heaven if you sent us down
Dm F
So we could build a playground
Am C
For the sinners to play as saints
Dm F
You'd be so proud of what we've made
Am C
I hope you got some beds around
Dm F
Cause you're the only refuge now
Am C Dm
For every mother every child every brother
F Am C Dm
That's caught in the crossfire
F Am C Dm
That's caught in the crossfire
F
[Verse 2]
Am C Dm
I'd trade my luck to know
F Am
Why he's caught in the crossfire
C Dm
And I'm here wakin' up
F Am
To the sun and the sound of birds
C Dm
Society's anxiety
F Am
Deprived of all that we're blessed with
C Dm F
We just can't get enough no
[Chorus]
Am C
Heaven if you sent us down
Dm F
So we could build a playground
Am C
For the sinners to play as saints
Dm F
You'd be so proud of what we've made
Am C
I hope you got some beds around
Dm F
Cause you're the only refuge now
Am C Dm
For every mother every child every brother
F Am C Dm
That's caught in the crossfire

That's caught in the crossfire

[Bridge]
F G Am
Can I trust what I'm given
C F
When faith still needs a gun
G Am C F
Whose ammunition justifies the wrong
G Am
And I can't see from the backseat
C F
So I'm asking from above
G Am Dm
Can I trust what I'm given even when it cuts
[Chorus]
F G
Heaven if you sent us down
Am C
So we could build a playground
F G
For the sinners to play as saints
Am C
You'd be so proud of what we've made
F G
I hope you got some beds around
Am C
Cause you're the only refuge now
F G Am
For every mother every child every brother
C F G Am
Who's caught in the crossfire
C F G Am
Who's caught in the crossfire
C F G Am
Who's caught in the crossfire Woaaah Woaaah
C F G Am
Who's caught in the crossfire
C F G Am
Who's caught on the cross
