[Verse 1]
C#m E A E N.C.
Did I pledge my allegiance
C#m E A E N.C.
For the pur-pose of progress
C#m E A E N.C.
To a priest or a prophet
C#m E A E N.C.
Playing god in the process?
C#m E A E N.C.
Was I cha-sing convenience
C#m E A E N.C.
In a wave of disaster
C#m E A E N.C.
Where the cap-tain's a captor
C#m E A E N.C.
And I'm a pup-pet to pastor?
[Pre-Hook]
C#m E A E
A worthless war, a curtain torn
C#m E A E
To take control of this ship
A nail of shame, a broken vein
C#m E A E
To write redemption a script
A truthless gun, a dying Son
C#m E A E
To turn the tables we flipped
Turn the tables we flipped
[Hook]
F#m E/G# A
Paint the beauty we split
B C#m E A
Paint the beauty we split
E/G# F#m E/G# A
Paint the beauty we split
B C#m E A
Paint the beauty we split
Nah nah nah, nah
[Verse 2]
C#m E A E N.C.
They don't get it, I don't get it
We're committed to sticks and stones
C#m E A E N.C.
What's a vision if it's driven to imprison?
I don't know
C#m E A E N.C.
They don't get it, I don't get it
We're committed to sticks and stones
C#m E A E N.C.
Undecided, but I'm trying still divided
So it goes
[Pre-Hook]
C#m E A E
A worthless war, a curtain torn
C#m E A E
To take control of this ship
A nail of shame, a broken vein
C#m E A E
To write redemption a script
A truthless gun, a dying Son
C#m E A E
To turn the tables we flipped
Turn the tables we flipped
[Hook]

Turn the tables we flipped (Nah nah nah, nah)

[Outro]
G#m A
Show me a man, an honest mission
G#m A
I'm willing to hope beyond suspicion (Paint the beauty we split)
G#m A
Show me the race, I'll run the distance
C#m B
Longing to give and taste forgiveness (Paint the beauty we split)
G#m A
Dying to live a pure religion
G#m A
Settle the rush to chase a mission (Paint the beauty we split)
G#m A
Open my eyes and soul to listen (Nah nah nah, nah)
C#m B
Listen
