Intro: Bm G (D) Em (x2)

Verse 1:
Em                        Bm
  We're creatures of indecision, easily undone
Em                  G
  Caught inside collisions under a dying sun
Em                     Bm                     Em
  Take our time for granted, entitled in this life
              G
Entertain us now, we're owed everything in sight

Prechorus 1:
Em
  Give us what we want
Em                       G
  What we don't want to earn 
                          Am
Give us what we think we need 

But we don't wanna learn 

Chorus:
Em
  In just a matter of minutes, just a matter of time
C                 D
 We could lose it all, we could lose it all
Em
  If all we are is just what we've earned
C       D
 We are the destroyers
Em
  Stop and take it in, think it through now
C            D
 Tread light on our future
Em
  If all we are is just what we've earned
C       D
 We are the destroyers

Interlude: Bm G (D) Em (x2)

Verse 2:
Em                      Bm
  We seek tomorrow's sun, it's all for the taking here
Em                    G
  Only the valiant survive, live for better years
Em                       Bm
  Shut up and actually try, no one can help us now 
Em                      G
  It's us against the tides, and will be 'til we die

Prechorus 2:
Em                         Em
  No one gives you what you want 
                        G
Don't get what you don't earn 
                      Am
Can't have what you need, 

Only what you deserve.
