Intro: Bm  Em  Bm  A  Em  Bm  G

Bm                                Em             A
I hear the static drawing nearer, there's no way out.
G                              Em
I breathe the ice and let the fire die.
 Bm
They keep on feeding me the chemicals I need to breathe,
            A            G             Bm           G
But how can something so important not belong to me?

I can't pretend like I'm the one who's gonna change this 

But all I know is that our time is running out.


                        Bm
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much further left we could go.
Bm                                          A
So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness?
            Em                                       G
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks.
               Bm                              A
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss,
             Em                                      G                                Bm
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths.


               Bm                                  Em
And out of the dust I see the light creep in and I know it won't be long.
            G
But I'm still terrified 'cause at least in the dark 
              Em                      Bm
No one else can see who you really are.

So bring me, raise up your guns
Em                                 D
And blame me for all of your wrongs.
                
It seems hate is all I have left, 
           G
Yeah, it's all I have left, 

It's the only thing that's left in me.


Em                     Bm
 I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much further left we could go.

             Bm                             A
So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness?
            Em                  Bm                    G

               Bm                              A

             Em                                      G
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths.


G 
So when you feel like you're falling under, 
Em               Bm
holding on to the things you thought you loved.
                                               D                         G
Will you let all of the things you've run from chew you up and spit you out?
         Em      Bm
(There's so much now)


Bm                                                      A
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much further left we could go. (x2)(End on Em )

            Bm                              A
So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness?
             Em                                        G
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks.
               Bm                               A

             Em                                     G                                Em   G
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths 
Em       Bm       G
(Find on brighter paths)


D                      A          Em
Don't be scared, we'll see the lights go out...
