1ST VERSE:
Bbsus2
Don't worry, the sun is just around the corner and,
Bbsus2
Don't worry, the downpour of unhappiness is over
Eb             F
I can see you now so clearly
Eb                F
Crawling on your bloody knees
    Eb               F                     Eb
And everything you thought was going wrong
            F
Was really nothing after all
CHORUS:
Eb                F
They're shooting horses
          Eb               F
Shooting horses somewhere else
        Bbsus2
Right now
                  Gb      F
They're shooting horses
2ND VERSE:
Bbsus2
Don't worry, the sun is shining on the ugliness
Bbsus2
Don't worry, there really is a God up in heaven
 Eb                     F
Skies so blue they'll break your heart
       Eb           F
Where angels carry soldiers off
    Eb               F                         Eb
And everything you thought would pull you down
          F
Into the fiery depths of hell
CHORUS:
Eb                  F
They're shooting horses
          Eb               F
Shooting horses somewhere else
        Bbsus2
Right now
                  Gb      Ab
They're shooting horses
BRIDGE:
Bb                  Gm     F
You don't know how hard I tried
   F#maj7             F
To keep you well, to keep you well
Bb                  Gm     F
You don't know how much I need you
F#maj7       F
Lean on me, save yourself

Don't worry, the sun is just around the corner and,
Bbsus2
Don't worry, the downpour of this heaviness is over
Eb            F
I can see us now so clearly
Eb               F
Laughing like we always did
    Eb               F                     Eb
And everything you thought was going wrong
            F
Was really nothing after all
CHORUS:
Eb                F
They're shooting horses
