    The Long Fall Back To E...

Am
 One spot on an empty canvas
F
 One chair in an empty room
C9
 No place for a revolution
G/B
 No hope if the signs are true
Am
 We stand at the edge of something
F
 Will we ever know what it is
C9
 Hold on 'cause the wind is rising
G/B
 And we can't get away from it

(intro) Am F C9 G/B

Am
 We?re in shock from the failed emotion
F
 No cause in a shadow land
C9
 We sing while the city's burning
G/B
 No room , no escape, no plan
Am             F                       C9  G/B
 We all never thought it would end this way
              Am  F
And we need a hero
    C9             G/B
To save us from ourselves
          Am  F
We need a hero
    C9             G/B
To save us from ourselves

D               F#m                      E
 Save us from ourselves, save us from our fears
D              F#m                   E
 When the sirens wail, we need a hero here

(inter) C#5 Gm C#5 Gm C#5 Gm

Am
 We hide on our knees in silence
F
 Maybe God doesn't hear at all
C9
 And the wait overtakes the violence
G/B
 And we watch as the giants fall
Am                F            C9   G/B
 We're not gonna let it end this way
              Am  F
And we need a hero
    C9             G/B
To save us from ourselves
          Am  F
We need a hero
    C9             G/B
To save us from ourselves

D               F#m                      E
 Save us from ourselves, save us from our fears
D              F#m                   E
 When the sirens wail, we need a hero here
