Verse1:
Bm
I'm looking for a sign that I can't see.
Bm
The good, the bad is somewhere in between.
G5               Em                 Bm
These warning signs and the servant grinds, me down.
Bm
The kids are building fires by their homes.
Bm
The smoke is sending signals out in code.
G5                 Em                Bm
Yeah, these safety suits, these parachutes.
Bm
I don't know

Bm
Gotta stop, drop, roll

Chorus:       
G5                         D
When all these walls come down, they'll shake us.
A                                Em
We fight not to be, not to be weightless.
G5                          D
Oh when all these stars hit ground, they'll wake us.
A                               Em            Bm 
We fight not to be, not to be weightless.


Verse2:
Bm
I'm choking on the words that I can't say.
Bm
My lungs are full but everythings misplaced.
G5                 Em                  Bm
And these junkyard dogs, these cherry bombs, go off.
Bm
The sun, the sky, the moon will fall apart.
Bm
Come tumbling down just like a house of cards.
G5             Em                   Bm
These fire escapes and this lush landscape, it fades

Chorus:       
G5                         D
When all these walls come down, they'll shake us.
A                                Em
We fight not to be, not to be weightless.
G5                          D
Oh when all these stars hit ground, they'll wake us.
A                               Em            
We fight not to be, not to be weightless.
Em             Bm
Be weightless.
