Maybe it's bricks and mortar now

I don't need fate
to give it time

Doesn't take pain

All my cleverness

It's around me in

In the chaos
there is a standard

I'm carrying it
like a banner
G
It's around me in
my surroundings
C
It kills me when it
starts the counting
Em
In the chaos
there is a standard
D
I'm carrying it
like a banner
[Chorus 1]
