INTRO
F Am F C
F Am Dm C
F C
We make so many promises
F C
But we keep hardly any
F C
The least that we can say for ourselves
F C
is that we can laugh, and we can cry
Am C
and we can steal what we need
Am C
we're just as scared
Am F G C
as anyone else struggling for sense
(instrumental interlude, you can repeat intro and it sounds good.)
F C
We spent so many whole nights
F C
tearing the world limb from limb
F C
and finding nothing but ourselves
F C
that's what scares us most of all
F C
but when we're walking
F C
under streetlights
Am C
we know these buildings
Am F G C
could never be as beautiful as us
F C
Huddled by the shortwave,
F C
cheering on the BLA
F C
We cried for the ones at Ludlow
F C
and sang songs about those beautiful months
Am
in 1871
F C
and we'd like to think we've done our best
Am C
we've been scared many a time
Am F G C
but we've never given in
