Chords: Gm Bb Eb F - Gm Bb Cm Gm F


 We're in the foreign line
 And no one's getting out alive
 We're backed against the ropes  
The crowd is screaming for blood
 
Two young lovers lost in this frozen universe
Starstruck and holding onto anything that floats 
 guess it's true when we met that were wrapped up in life 
Nothing came between us but the doubt in your eyes
 And every doubt grows steady as a spot to the blaze 
 It'll burn your house down, burn your house down (echo) /// 

Can anybody tell me 
What kind of machine this is 
It's beating like a drum 
 Against the back of my eyes
Pour more chemicals into the water supply 
 Take a look around you, man, they're dropping like flies  
I wanted for nothing more than you to see me come alive 
 Can't you understand it's recognition I strive for 
 So I stand here watching as you're sailing away 
 And it makes my heart break, makes my heart break (echo) ///

  [Chorus] We are born helpless, on fire
                 And don't forget that you 
                 You will rule the world (repeat last line once)

This is the last stop 
Join the ranks, file off 
 It's 7 in the morning and you're way off the chain /
 High on equity, you're so deep in your profanity
  That people just look through you
  Like you're not even real
  And it's a beautiful thing to see the world from this place
  Drifting through the suits with a smile on your face 
 And as the sun breaks free from it municipal cage 
 You will never look back, never look back (echo) //

 [Chorus] (repeat last line twice)
