Intro: Em  D  Em D
Em                  D
When the dark flood came
Em                            D
we wrapped ourselves inside a dirty blanket citing
C                     D                      Em   D
different opinions on whether we should move



Em               D
when the houses came
Em                        D
they ate up everyone like they were fishes saying, 
C                  D
"come on, come on    its the end of the world


Em                    D
and then I saw your face
Em                         D
you're turning skin into a dirty secret I watched the
C                                  D                            
beauties, watched the fire and the fire burn the beauty in their 
Em        D
eyes

Em              D
when I took the blame
Em                          D
we layed in ruins trying to quote your phrase we're yelling, 
C                                   D
"someone's got the answers, but I'd rather think there's nothing to be 
Em       D
found"



C                  D             Em              
if you knew I was dying would it change you?
C                  D             Em              
If you knew I was dying would it change?
C                  D             Em              
if you knew I was dying would it change you?
C                  D             Em               
If you knew I was dying would it change Anything?

           C                                 D                            
So when you see me falling backwards down the wall that says I'm still alive,

Em   D

         C                            D
don't be cautious when I'm cautiously approaching on the other side

Em  D

     C                                  D                         Em   D
everybody has their reasons, that's the reason we're all going to die

           C                         D
because if seeing is believing, then believe that we have lost our eyes

C  D  Em  D

     C          D         Em    D
when I fly solo, I fly so high  (X4)

D
don't touch me now.

C  D  Em  D

C                 D           Em
We all deserve We all deserve something
