Verse 1 (the same as main riff but this lasts twice)

 The sky is fallin', human race that we are
 Has left me crawlin', staring straight at the sun
 All in a moment, I notice every dog has his day
 I paid attention, cost me so much to


Pre-chorus 1

 G#5         G5     F#5      Bb5

     G#5      G5          F#5      Bb5   Bb5

Verse 2 (the same as 1)

 I wanted something, nothing blank I don’t know
 It’s hard deflecting, stones are easy to throw
 All in a moment I noticed hours days left behind
 One wasted useless, selfless none of a 


Pre-chorus 2

 G#5         G5     F#5      Bb5
 kind for so long I saw only wrong but
