Intro:
Em, D, C, B /// Em, G D, C, B D(hold)
Em D C
And all these things that we tie together
B Em
Keep unraveling apart,
G (D)
And the light that used
C B (D) Em
To burn so bright now is dark.
D C
With anger-laced intent we set fire
B Em
To the bridges that remain and
G D C B D D#
They're wading through the current now
Em C G
And they drown in the flood of the tears
D B Em
That have been wept,
C G
And I scream to the sky:
D B Em
"No, you are not alone..."
C G D B
Em D
If you think that your words
C
Will ever make a difference,
B Em
Think again and carry on
G (D) C
Because the weight behind the hand
B (D) Em
That holds us is strong,
D C
But there is hope in the roar
B Em
Of a thousand pleading cries
D
And all these things
C B D D#
That we tie together...
Em C
The sound of their tongues
G D B Em
Being bitten is all I hear
C G
As we fire at the whites of their eyes,
D B Em
Then dance on ashes of the world
C G D B

Em C G
As they drown in the flood of the tears
D B Em
That have been wept,
C G
And their tongues being bitten
D B Em
Is all that I can hear,
C G
As I scream to the sky:
D B Em C G D B
"I need you now..."
Em D
Can you feel this truth
C B Em
Now unraveling?
G D C
Or will you chase the burning sun
B D Em
Into the sea?
