    Approaching Normal

C         Am Em
Losing my control
               C         Am  Em
Here it is the day I have to go

Just sit beside me
C           Am   Em
I can't let this show
                   C                 Am Em
How sick I feel to leave you so alone
                   C                    
God I'm terrified

G                          C
    We've lost respect for decency
               G
When one could turn our world into an ant pile
G                        C
    We run circles, no direction do I see
             G                         C
The dust has blinded you, the dust has blinded me


C                      G
   I kissed her on the cheek and then I waved goodbye
C                                 G
    She had the saddest look I?ve seen in years - a kangaroo cry
C                   G                            C
    A warm pathetic ocean flow we have to live by
                  G
We have to live by
                   C
Because we have to live


G                      
    And you choose to break our families 
C                                       F
    Tell me you've used all precautions known

And I'll stand beside the ones who stood alone
G                                           C
    How long will we have to sing until you finally bring our sons, 
              F
Our daughters home?

We'll let the prayers start healing, what time's been stealing

Interlude: C Am Em X2

C                      Am Em
  We only want to feel as close as we can be
C                         Am       Em
  Use hands for holding on to your precious family
C                         Am
  Just believe in all who shine

    Em
The light to help you see
             C                  Am  Em
Cause if I believe in you, will you believe in me?


C                      G
   I kissed her on the cheek and then I waved goodbye
C                                 G
    She had the saddest look I?ve seen in years - a kangaroo cry
C                   G                            C
    A warm pathetic ocean flow we have to live by
                  G
We have to live by
                   C
Because we have to live


G                      
    And you choose to break our families 
C                                       F
    Tell me you've used all precautions known

And I'll stand beside the ones who stood alone
G                                           C
    How long will we have to sing until you finally bring our sons, 
              F
Our daughters home?

We'll let the prayers start healing, what time's been stealing

Been stealing.
G
  Keep hanging on
C                  F
  Keep hanging on
G
  Keep hanging on
C                  F
  Keep hanging on

We'll let the prayers start healing, when time's been stealing
