Intro:
Em, D, C, B /// Em, G D, C, B D(hold) 


Em          D                       C  
And all these things that we tie together
       B          	Em
Keep unraveling apart,
         G          (D)
And the light that used
    C      B  (D)           Em
To burn so bright now is dark.
         D                      C
With anger-laced intent we set fire
        B             Em    
To the bridges that remain and
        G       D         C       B  D  D#
They're wading through the current now


          Em           C             G
And they drown in the flood of the tears
      D    B    Em
That have been wept,
        C           G
And I scream to the sky:
      D      B     	Em 
"No, you are not alone..."

C G D B


       Em                 D
If you think that your words
                     C
Will ever make a difference,
        B             Em
Think again and carry on
              G      (D)         C
Because the weight behind the hand
       B   (D)      Em
That holds us is strong,
            D            C
But there is hope in the roar
       B               Em
Of a thousand pleading cries
          D          
And all these things
              C       B  D  D#
That we tie together...


      Em              C
The sound of their tongues
        G        D  B  Em
Being bitten is all I hear
         C                          G
As we fire at the whites of their eyes,
      D        B           Em 
Then dance on ashes of the world

C G D B

Em C Em D B C D G F# x 3

          Em          C              G
As they drown in the flood of the tears
      D   B     Em
That have been wept,
            C              G
And their tongues being bitten
    D      B        Em
Is all that I can hear,
      C              G 
As I scream to the sky:
    D   B   Em C G D B  
"I need you now..."

Em       D        
Can you feel this truth 
C     B     Em
Now unraveling?
         G             D       C
Or will you chase the burning sun
   B   D    Em
Into the sea?
