Intro: C#m, Ab, Bb, Fm, Eb, C x2
Verse 1:

C#m                        Ab      Bb
At the start the end's so easy to forget
         Fm                          Eb
When the closing comes it's far too quick
              C
And the start sticks.
    C#m
Our conscience is killing us

For what we haven't said
     Ab
This nonsense is thrilling
             Bb
'Cause we're all underfed.
    Fm
The morning starts without
                 Eb        
Us when our high hopes come back
     C          
Without a solution.

B|--6565656565656565656565656565656---|

Same as verse 1:

Here we are again
So eager to pretend
Our lonesome hearts
Dare us to tear them apart...
Our conscience is killing us
For what we haven't said
This nonsense is thrilling
'Cause we're all underfed.
The morning starts without     
Us when our high hopes come back      
Without a solution.

Play A Ab then:
B|-65656--|

Chorus:
Repeat the pattern:
Fm, Cm, Fm, Em 
until the end of the chorus

Chorus:
Let's break the glass that holds the wine
Look past utensil to feast on swine
Salivate at opportunity
And apprehend the useless.

Same as Verse:
Burn the candle at both ends to seek
Potential overlooked by pessimism
Locked away by realism
Spend too much time waiting for the glass to fill
Priceless is the reaction of letting glass spil
Reaching the brim of every pointless goal
Without looking further or even looking into...

Repeat Chorus

C#m Ab      Fm
So hard to change them when
C#m   Ab   F#                     C#m Ab F#
They can't stop holding like they always do.
Those with us.
