[Intro]
Em G x2
[Verse]
Em
Birds don‘t sing it‘s like they know what‘s coming
G
everything collides
Em
and when the black clouds form on southern ground
G
noone here survives
[Pre Chorus]
Em
so we feed ourselves on the empty
G
and breathe in their lies
Em
while the water brings no cleansing
G
just reflects strangers eyes
[Chorus]
G* F#* E*
we scream who are we to know
G* F#* E*
who are we to question
G* F#* E*
at the end of it all
G* F#* E*
truth‘s too hard to mention
[Verse]
Em
buildings fall and the herds start running
G
chased out by the skies
Em
but all that comes from broken dreams
G
I burned out empty tries
[Pre Chorus]
Em
they feed themselves on the empty
G
and breathe out their lies
Em
while the water we‘ve been trending
G
gets deeper all the while
[Chorus]
G* F#* E*
we scream who are we to know
G* F#* E*
who are we to question
G* F#* E*
at the end of it all
G* F#* E*
truth‘s too hard to mention
Em
[Verse]
Em
don‘t get lost don‘t forge your own cage
G
you‘ll not hold the key
Em
don‘t get lost don‘t forge your own cage
G
you‘ll not hold the key
[Bridge]
G* F#* E* E
for ve-ry long
[Verse]
Em
Birds don‘t sing it‘s like they know what‘s coming
G
everything collides
Em
and when the black clouds form on southern ground
G
noone here survives
[Pre Chorus
Em
so we feed ourselves on the empty
G
and breathe in their lies
Em
while the water we‘ve been drinking
G
it burns us deep inside
[Chorus]
G* F#* E*
we screamed who were we to know
G* F#* E*
who were we to question
G* F#* E*
at the end of it all
G* F#* E
our truth was too hard to mention
