    C#5             F#5     A5 
So please don't ask me how
            B5                  C#5
I ended up at my wits end
       F#5       A5
And breaking down
B5                      C#5                 F#5
Pages torn from books we never read,
                  A5                       B5
Cause we're plugged into this grid.
        C#5                    F#5
Don't pull this plug right now,
                   A5                  B5
Or then we'd really have to live.


            A5                    F#5
When I die, will they remember not
            A5                 F#5
What I did, but what I haven't done?
                A5                  F#5
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
     A5                              B5
It's life that scares me to death.


               E5
When we built these dreams on sand
               B5
How they all slipped through our hands
C#5                   A5
This might be our only chance
                     E5
Let's take this one day at a time
                  B5
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine
      C#5                           A5
The time that we kill keeps us alive.

C#5                   F#5      A5
Your words won't save me now.
              B5                      C#5        F#5       A5
I'm at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow.
          B5               C#5                   F#5
"Get a grip on yourself" is what they say,
         A5               B5
Every hour, every day.
C#5                F#5
Hands over my ears,
             A5                           B5
I've been screaming all these years!


            A5                    F#5
When I die, will they remember not
            A5                 F#5
What I did, but what I haven't done?
                A5                  F#5
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
     A5                              B5
It's life that scares me to death.


               E5
When we built these dreams on sand
               B5
How they all slipped through our hands
C#5                   A5
This might be our only chance
                     E5
Let's take this one day at a time
                  B5

      C#5                           A5
The time that we kill keeps us alive.

F#5 _ _

 F#5               E5 F#5 _ 
        We came in search of answers!
 E5 D5 _         A5 B5 _             E5
       We left empty handed again!
F#5 _             E5 F#5 _
        Shots fired into the sky...
E5 D5 _ 
      Are now returning!
A5 B5 _                     E5
      Where the fuck will you hide?

   
F#5 _                          E5      F#5 _ 
Hiding from the laughter in the closets of our lives,
E5 D5 _                                             A5        E5 _
   But the door hinges are squeaking letting in thin shards of light.
E5 F#5 _                           
    And now a hand's extending outward,
E5 F#5 _
   Quiet comfort they invite,
E5 D5 _ 
   Do we dare take what they offer?
A5 E5 _
    Do we step into the light?


            A5                    F#5
When I die, will they remember not
            A5                 F#5
What I did, but what I haven't done?
                A5                  F#5
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
     A5                              B5
It's life that scares me to death.
