i noticed that not one of these chord sheets had all the lyrics , or the right chords .
this song has the easiest strum pattern in the world .
listen to the song off of the “acoustic ep” to get the pattern .
this is 100% correct .

C# minor G# major a major B major

[ verse 1 ]
C#m G#
tell me how could you compromise
A B
yourself like this?
C#m G#
tell me how could you blame anyone else
A B
when you aren’t really committed?
C#m G#
tell me where was your head
A B
when you broke that promise to yourself ,
C#m G#
the one where you don’t forget
A B
every life lesson that happens before your eyes
G# C#m
so you don’t wake up to regret she’s gone years away?
G#
you had hopes and dreams of a day
C#m
where everything , everything , everything would come together ,

you wouldn’t have to be so scared .

[ chorus ]
A B
are we just working till a day we decide we’ve had enough?

all along we were strong enough to be sick of it ,
A
and put them back in their fxxking place .
B
never asked for this responsibility
G#
we were never in this . . together .

[ verse 2 ]
C#m G#
the reality that you know
A B
is just behind your idea
C#m G# A B
of a society , security , and self .
C#m G#
Am i just fxxked up? cause i can’t remember
A B
the last time any of this made sense ,
C#m G#
the last time i
A B
could stand up to myself .
G#
street faces all blend into one ,
C#m
they ask for spare change .
G#
Am i forgetting what it looks like from the other side?
C#m
have i forgotten where i’ve come from?

[ chorus ]
A B
are we just working till a day we decide we’ve had enough?

all along we were strong enough to be sick of it ,
G#
and put them back in their fxxking place .
A B
