lyrics

[D]I saw the headline and the photograph
The fallen flag in the aftermath
And things will never [G]be the same
Go to frozen frame
And fade to [D]black

[D]Empty halls, echo empty hearts
Reflected silence in the morning light
The daily pace of, [G]getting up, moving on
Pushing back the n[D]ight

[E]Twenty-seven in [G]Connecticut
[E]The teachers and the [G]innocent
Blown away
---------------------------------------------------
[Bm]Far A[D]way
The [A]funeral bells are ringing out to[E]day
They’re so [Bm]Far A[D]way
but [E]can we close our eyes
In[G]different to the cries
so far a[Bm]way
---------------------------------------------------
[D]Haters sleep with a holy gun
Ignorant of the setting sun
The rising tide and [G]make a stand
Reaching out, with blood on their [D]hands

[E]They strut and fret u[G]pon the stage
[E]And leave us with the [G]mess they made
And walk away

(Chorus)
[C]Now Father Flannigan is, [G]asking us to [D]pray
[C]There's no one riding on, [G] the school bus to[Asus4]day[A]
(Chorus)
