VERSE 1 

C5                          E5
What's it gonna take for me?
                      G5
I'm on my hands and knees,

while all the poets fill the pages of loose leaf
C5        E5             G5     D5
I feel cheap, and I feel empty
C5                     E5             G5
We will bathe in the sea of disbelief, but we will not go quickly.
        C5               E5         G5        D5
No we will not die so easily
   

BRIDGE 
 C5  E5 G5  D5                      C5   E5           G5     D5
And I     knew that this would happen, it always does  Hmmm
    C5  E5 G5  D5                    C5    E5          G5     D5
And I        couldn't stop my reaction, so I let it come

D5     D5    D5 
I let it come!


CHORUS 
C5                      G5                 D5
I still hold the belief that we are free,
                 E5 
that we don't need the rules to see
C5                            G5               D5
that despite what we've done, we're not alone 
                      D5    G5  C5 
We're closer than we think to home



VERSE 2 
C5                                E5                       G5
It didn't take me long to believe that I could do anything,
G5                     D5                 C5
we turn the songs up loud so we can sing
C5     E5            G5      D5
I am true and I am living
C5                        E5                            G5                   D5  
We will walk through the valley of the shadow of the boring and burn it all
C5                     E5   G5  D5 
No we will not go quietly


BRIDGE 
 C5  E5 G5  D5                      C5   E5           G5     D5
And I     knew that this would happen, it always does  Hmmm
    C5  E5 G5  D5                    C5    E5          G5     D5
And I        couldn't stop my reaction, so I let it come

D5     D5    D5 
I let it come!

                      D5        E5
We're closer than we think to home
      B5       C5         D5    B5
To home, to home,  To home

C5           E5         G5           D5               C5   E5      G5     D5
Across the water you call me, but I'm not listening as I sink down
C5 E5 G5    G5              C5 E5          G5    
Water    fills my lungs as I begin to drown
   D5      
I knew that this would [happen]

We're closer than we think to home
