[Verse 1]
Em         Em7         Asus4
With every step, I hesitate
     A
In a world too fast
Em           Em7                Asus4
It's hard to move beyond my own door
A
How can I get away
Em                 Em7               Asus4
From eyes that are empty and look inside
   A
To hearts so cold
Em            Em7                Asus4     A
Surrounded by faces that have no names


[Chorus]
C                G                  Bm
I'll take to the streets pave a new way
           C
Show some emotion
 G                      Bm
Alone I can change this reign
   Ebdim      Em
Of crowded isolation

Em


[Verse 2]
Em         Em7         Asus4
Cold in the air cold to the touch
   A
Is how we live
Em           Em7                   Asus4
I bleed in a crowd and no one that's there
A
Lends a helping hand
Em            Em7                      Asus4
Like a silent scream that falls on deaf ears
     A
Does no one care
Em             Em7                Asus4    A
Why can't they see who they should be


[Chorus]
C                G                  Bm
I'll take to the streets pave a new way
           C
Show some emotion
 G                      Bm
Alone I can change this reign
   Ebdim      Em
Of crowded isolation

[Verse 3]
Em        Em7             Asus4
Unable to feel sensation is gone
        A
No need to react
Em             Em7           Asus4
When your body moves no one observes
A
All expression lost
Em        Em7                 Asus4
Inanimate beings confined in a world
A
Of shadowed walls
Em          Em7                Asus4    A
Is this the way we meant it to be


[Chorus]
C                G                  Bm
I'll take to the streets pave a new way
           C
Show some emotion
 G                      Bm
Alone I can change this reign
   Ebdim      C
Of crowded isolation
                G                      Bm
From inside our hearts we need to find grace
                     C
Try to reach, make a motion
    G                   Bm
And try to live face to face
           Ebdim      Em
Instead of crowded isolation
