Chorus 3:
   F#5
So what did we pay for
And why did we care
Ab5
What were we after
And why was it there
      Bb5
Cause i have gave way 
to a false sense of hope
       Ab5
And we fell for the lie 
that its what we all chose
      F5
And i yell to my friends
It will all be ok
         Ab5
But they didnt believe me
They still dont today
     F#5
They never do anything 
the haven't before
       Ab5
In the same
Solid room with no lock
                Bb5
on the door and over 
and over and over again
    Ab5
The same false solutions
to all the same problems
       F5
Scream why why 
i cant understand
        Ab5
Why the things that 
i do never go as i plan
        (hold)
And the vultures begin


Verse 3:
C#5                 Bb5
  Then some circle in
                   Eb5
The dogs lay their teeth
                 Ab5
Bright white and gleaming
C#5                   Bb5
  But just hold your self
         Eb5
Barely begun
                Ab5
surprised until now so
C#5                      Bb5
  Let's see what you've got
               Eb5
This wide open shot
           Ab5
Take it or leave it
     C#5             Bb5
Cause we're getting out
              Eb5
We're getting out
Ab5
Of here And 
C#5
you'll never
Bb5      Eb5
Find us again
You'll never 
Ab5       C#(hold)
find us again
