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

alternative for solo ( listen to song to get rhythm )

Em C Em D B C D G F# x 3

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?
