So distant, D So forgotten, Cadd9D/F# As we think ourselves to be? Em These are our lifes D But did they ever even matter? Cadd9D/F# Are we worth remembering?
EmCadd9G These machines feed on the tears of broken lifes and dying dreams D (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, Ohhhhhhhhhh) EmCadd9 We’re throwing wrenches in the gears G Our lifes will not be lived in vain D (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, Ohhhhhhhhhh)
Em When this is all said and done Cadd9 We spent this life on the run GD/F# Judged by the company we keep Em Our language, buried inside Cadd9 These lungs that keep us alive GD/F# We breathe so selfishly
Em Promises we plan to break D Are made in whispered voices Cadd9D/F# Cause our despair knows many names Em We make mistakes DCadd9D/F# But we apologize with roses we never stop to smell on the way
EmCadd9G These machines feed on the tears of broken lifes and dying dreams D (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, Ohhhhhhhhhh) EmCadd9 We’re throwing wrenches in the gears G Our lifes will not be lived in vain D (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, Ohhhhhhhhhh)
Em When this is all said and done Cadd9 We spent this life on the run GD/F# Judged by the company we keep Em Our language, buried inside Cadd9 These lungs that keep us alive GD/F# We breathe so selfishly
EmGD/F#Em We fell from the sky todaaay EmGD/F#Em We melt into balls of claay EmGD/F#Em We sell ourselves everyday EmCadd9GD/F# Don’t tell me how to live this way
EmCadd9G Pushed so far to the edge We teeter just on the brink D (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, Ohhhhhhhhhh) EmCadd9 You can lead me to the bloodbath G But you can’t make me drink D (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, Ohhhhhhhhhh)
EmCadd9G As These machines feed on the tears of broken lifes and dying dreams D (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, Ohhhhhhhhhh) EmCadd9 We’re throwing wrenches in the gears G Our lifes will not be lived in vain D (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, Ohhhhhhhhhh) Em my life will not be lived in vain
