Tom: C
Am
Your stitches are all out
D
But your scars are healing wrong
Am D
The helium balloon inside your room has come undone
C G/B
And it's pushing up at the ceiling
Am E/G#
And the flickering lights it cannot get beyond
( F Dm/F F Dm/F )
Am C
Everyone takes turns
D D/F#
Now it's yours to play the part
Am C
And they're sitting all around you
D D/F#
Holding copies of your chart
C G/B
And the misery inside their eyes is
Am E/G#
Synchronized and reflecting into yours
( F Dm/F F Dm/F )
C E
Hold on!
Am F
One more time with feeling
C E Am F
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm
C/G E/B Am F
Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right
Dm F Dm F
This is why we fight
(Doo..doo-doo-doo-doo...doo...doo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo...)
( C C/E F F C C/E F F C/E D D/F# )
( D Dm/F Em Dm C )
Am
You thought by now you'd be
D
So much better than you are
Am
You thought by now they'd see
D
That you have come so far
C G/B
And the pride inside their eyes
Am E/G# F
Would synchronize into a love you've never known
E/G# F
So much more than you've been show
C E
Hold on!
Am F
One more time with feeling
C E Am F
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm
C/G E/B Am F
Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right
C E F
This is why we fight
C E F
This is why we fight
