Intro:  F#m      G#m

                  F#m
Its such a tired game
             G#m
Will it ever stop
                  F#m
How will this all play out
                  G#m
Upside out of my mouth

                  G#m
By now we should know
                                         G#m
How to communicate instead of coming to blows
            C#m
We're on a roll
B                              C#m
And there ain't no stopping us now
B                       C#m
We're burning under control
B
Isn't it strange how

   C#m     B                       G#m
We're all burning under the same sun
                                 G#m
By now we say its a war for peace
                    G#m
Its the same old game
                          C#m
But do we really want to play?
     B                           C#m
We could close our eyes its still there
     B                      C#m
We could say its us against them
     B                 C#m
We can try but nobody wins
     B                       F#m
Gravity has got a hold on us all
                 G#m
We try to put it out
                   F#m
But its a growing flame
               G#m
Using fear as fuel
                  F#m
Burning down our name
                      G#m
And it wont take too long
                       F#m
Cause words are burning same
                       G#m
And who we gonna blame now?

                    C#m     B       A    G#m
And oh, Its such a crying crying crying shame
            C#m     B      A     G#m
Its such a crying crying crying shame
            C#m     B      A      G#m      F#m
Its such a crying crying crying shame, shame, shame

SOLO:   C#m     B

G#m
By now
                 G#m
It's beggining to show
                                                C#m
A number of people are numbers who aint coming home
       B                      C#m
I can close my eyes its still there
  B                C#m
Close my mind be alone
  B                     C#m
I can close my heart and not care
      B                          G#m
But gravity has got a hold on us all
                            G#m
It's a terrific price to pay
                              C#m
But in the true sense of the word
        B                    C#m
Are we using what we've learned?
        B                 C#m
In the true sense of the word
       B                C#m
Are we losing what we were?
       B           F#m
Its such a tired game
              G#m
Will it ever stop?
                 F#m
Is not for me to say
                  G#m
And this in our blood?
                   F#m
Or is it just our fate?
                         G#m
And how will this all play out
                F#m
Upside out of my mouth
                   G#m
And who we gonna blame?

On and on
            C#m     B      A     G#m
Its such a crying crying crying shame
             C#m    B      A     G#m
Its such a crying crying crying shame
             C#m    B      A     G#m      F#m      C#m
Its such a crying crying crying shame shame shame
