Chorus 3:
   F#
So what did we pay for
And why did we care
Ab
What were we after
And why was it there
      Bbm
Cause i have gave way 
to a false sense of hope
       Ab
And we fell for the lie 
that its what we all chose
      Fm
And i yell to my friends
It will all be ok
         Ab
But they didnt believe me
They still dont today
     F#
They never do anything 
the haven't before
       Ab
In the same
Solid room with no lock
                Bbm
on the door and over 
and over and over again
    Ab
The same false solutions
to all the same problems
       Fm
Scream why why 
i cant understand
        Ab
Why the things that 
i do never go as i plan
        (hold)
And the vultures begin


Verse 3:
C#                 Bbm
  Then some circle in
                   Ebm
The dogs lay their teeth
                 Ab
Bright white and gleaming
C#                   Bbm
  But just hold your self
         Ebm
Barely begun
                Ab
surprised until now so
C#                      Bbm
  Let's see what you've got
               Ebm
This wide open shot
           Ab
Take it or leave it
     C#             Bbm
Cause we're getting out
              Ebm
We're getting out
Ab
Of here And 
C#

Bbm      Ebm
Find us again
You'll never 
Ab       C#(hold)
find us again
