Intro: D, Bm

Verse:

D
Safe little house, safe little friends,
            Bm
Safe little thoughts to keep you safe
     G                                     A
From all those big bad wolves that eat you up.
(oh shit)
D
Safe in your room,
Safe as a tomb,
           Bm
Sleep in a coffin made of glass.
   G                               A
It takes a big facade to hide your cries.


Pre-chorus:

        Bm        G
Can you make this last?
      A              D
Cause now I'm not so sure,
        Bm        G
Are you up to the task?
              A               D
Sometimes the sickness is the cure.
       Bm
You're searching so hard,
       G
You've lost yourself.


Chorus:

        D
Does it help to play as you're wasting away
       Bm
Like a silver screen cliche?
      G                           D
Cause after all we're actors on a stage.

(oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh)
        D
Will it help you to wait for the moment to break,
      Bm
Is it real or is it fate?
G                             Bm
All we are just chapters on a page.

(oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh.)
      G               A           D
Cause after all we're actors on a stage.


Verse:

D
Hearing you now, shedding the doubts
              Bm
They'll be no past or future tense.
   G                              A
Regrets a waste of time and plans change.

(will always change)
    D
Oh, some for the worst; some for the best.
                 Bm
You know you can always get your way.
   G
So worried about what's next,
         A
You lost today.

(You lost today)


Pre-chorus:

        Bm        G
Can you make this last?
      A              D
Cause now I'm not so sure,
        Bm        G
Are you up to the task?
              A               D
Sometimes the sickness is the cure.
       Bm
You're searching so hard,
       G
You've lost yourself.


Chorus:

        D
Does it help to play as you're wasting away
       Bm
Like a silver screen cliche?
      G                           D
Cause after all we're actors on a stage.

(oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh)
        D
Will it help you to wait for the moment to break,
      Bm
Is it real or is it fate?
G                             Bm
All we are just chapters on a page.

(oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh.)
      G               A           D
Cause after all we're actors on a stage.


Bridge:

        Bm
Can you let yourself,
        G
Can you let yourself,
        D
Can you let yourself,
         A                Bm
Will you let yourself let go?
    A
Let go.
        Bm
Can you let yourself,
        G
Can you let yourself,
          D
Won't you let yourself,
     A                Bm
Just let yourself let go?
    A (hold)
Let go.

Safe little house, safe little friends,
            Bm
Safe little thoughts to keep you safe.


Chorus:

        D
Does it help to play as you're wasting away
       Bm
Like a silver screen cliche?
      G                           D
Cause after all we're actors on a stage.

(oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh)
        D
Will it help you to wait for the moment to break,
      Bm
Is it real or is it fate?
G                             Bm
All we are just chapters on a page.

(oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh.)
        D
Does it help you to play as you faded away,
       A
Like a memory?
      D               Bm          G
Cause all we are just actors on a page.
    Bm               G           D
And after all, we're actors on a stage.
