Em C/F G
you cross your fingers and you’re to lose
Em C/F G
what if i told you ,
Em C/F G
that things will never improve .

the grass is always greener
someone else’s past is always cleaner
but i’m a believer

would someone meet me on the other side
so i could burn out bright

no , i don’t really know where i must go
no , i don’t really know where i must go
so , i lived a lie
for just tonight , tonight

( switch to G , Em , D , C sequence )
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers

we are , we are

( back to standard chorus sequence )
and if i lived a lie

and if i lived a lie
would someone meet me on the other side
so i could burn out bright

no , i don’t really know where i must go
no , i don’t really know where i must go
so , i lived a lie
for just tonight
and burn out bright
