what’s it gonna take for me?

we will bathe in the sea of disbelief , but we will not go quickly .
C Em G D
no we will not die so easily

and i couldn’t stop my reaction , so i let it come

D D D

chorus
C G D
i still hold the belief that we are free ,

that we don’t need the rules to see
C G D

D G C
we’re closer than we think to home
