E
Once I had my heroes
E
Once I had my dreams
E
But all of that is changed now
       D
The truth begins again
       C
The truth is not that comfortable, no

[Verse 2]
E
Mother taught us patience
E
The virtues of restrain
E
Father taught us boundaries
       D
The knowledge we must go
     C                          E
I'm trying to protect my unity

[Chorus]
B             A                    C#m    D#m
That's when I reach for my revolver
B             A                    C#m    D#m
That's when it all gets blown away
B             A                    C#m    D#m
That's when I reach for my revolver
B             A                    C#m    D#m
The spirit fights to find its way

[Verse 3]
E
A friend of mine once told me
E
His one and only aim
E
To build a giant castle
       D
And in it sign his name
        C                       E
Sign it with complete community

[Chorus]
B             A                    C#m    D#m
That's when I reach for my revolver
B             A                    C#m    D#m
That's when it all gets blown away
B             A                    C#m    D#m
That's when I reach for my revolver
B             A                    C#m    D#m
The spirit passes by this way

[Instrumental]
C#m    G#m
C#m    G#m
A      F#
A      F#

[Verse 4]
E
Now that the sky is empty
E
And that is nothing new
E
Instead they look upon us
                  D
When they tell me
                 C
That we're nothing

[Chorus]
B             A               C#m    D#m       C#m    D#m
And I say! (That's when I reach for my revolver)
B             A                    C#m    D#m
That's when I reach for my revolver
B             A                    C#m    D#m
That's when I reach for my revolver
B             A                    C#m    D#m
That's when I reach for my revolver
B             A                    C#m    D#m
That's when I reach for my revolver
