Intro: G#m-F#-Ebm-E- x2, G#m(hold)


Verse 1:
G#m             E
   All blossoms die in the 
G#m              E
light of our new culture
G#m            E
   Find your belief in that 
      G#m          E
which cannot be discovered
G#m          E
   Countless lessons lie 
   G#m         E
in every fever dream
G#m          E
   A million voices asking
G#m              E
what does it all mean?


Refrain:
G#m              F#
   I've lost all direction
     Ebm           E
I've lost all my direction
    G#m             F#
And now I wish that I 
             Ebm
would have believed
             E
Could have believed
C#m
   Escape escape
  E
Nature's indifferent 
    C#m
hand   Retreat retreat
       E
To the bliss of our creation


Chorus 1:
        G#m
We were born and
          F#
raised To live beyond
    Ebm
The heft and weight
     E
of a world undone
G#m         F#
Like a bird from the north
    Ebm
Our hearts will roam
   E               G#m-- Drumbeats
in search of warmth


Verse 2:
G#m          E
   Two hands come together 
   G#m              E
to pray for greater yields
G#m          E
   Two poles of a compass 
G#m         E
guided by a field
G#m               E
   In the mind of every man
G#m        E
two ghosts dance
G#m         E
   Was this place made
   G#m            E
or was it here by chance?


(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
G#m  F#        E
   Uncountable numbers 
Ebm       G#m    F#      E  Ebm
written in   new fallen snow
G#m      F#       E
   I can hear the claws of 
    Ebm   C#m           E     F#
the beast tapping at my window
G#m F#       E     Ebm
   Nihilist sleeps and in 
G#m       F#         E   Ebm
dreams he sees god's face
G#m   F#        E    Ebm
   Realize even disbelief 
  C#m              E    F#
requires a leap of faith
G#m     F#       E
   From birth to death we 
Ebm        G#m
search for what's yet 
F#    Ebm  E F#
to be known 
G#m       F#
   We and hope 
    E        Ebm
and pray and ask but 
C#m          E    F# G#m(Hold)
we are never shown


Chorus 2:
G#m
born and
          F#
raised To live beyond
    Ebm
The heft and weight
     E
of a world undone
G#m         F#
Like a bird from the north
    Ebm
Our hearts will roam
   E
in search of warmth we were
G#m            F#
born and raised
Ebm            E
born and raised
G#m            F#
born and raised
Ebm            E G#m(hold)
born and raised
