(intro)
A - C#m - F#m - E

(verse 1)
D2      E               F#m
  Tight fist, and tight lungs,
D2     E             F#m
  Too scared to open up,
D2    E                   Bm   N.C.
  Too afraid to look too far
D2    E                F#m
  Big lies, and little sins,
D2       E            F#m
  And no one seems to win,
D2    E             Bm   A   N.C.
  But that's who we are

(chorus)
A
  This is where I draw the line,
C#m
  With all your pretty lies,
F#m          E              A    D
  But all my efforts are in vain
A
  I'm sick of "getting by,"
C#m
  A dirty compromise,
F#m         E             D
  And all excuses are the same
           E                    ( D 1st time)
We're just lookin for someone to blame
                                ( F#m - B - D - A - E , C#m - D - E - F#m 2nd time)
                                ( A - C#m - F#m - E , A - C#m - F#m - E , A 3rd time)

(verse 2)
Bright eyes, and bright dreams,
Sweet lies, and meeger fees,
This not what I call home

---chorus---

(bridge)
D          E
 You can't buy me,
    F#m         A
I'm ,    not for sale,
D          E
 You can't tell me,
     F#m          A
I'm , part of emptiness,
D          E
 You can't make me believe,
F#m            A
  That this is all of chance
D          A             E
 A healing world or entropy?
Bm             A               E
  The answer's clear enough to me

---chorus---
