[1st Verse]
F#5 C#
Felt a tremor stir beneath my breath
F#5 C#
That forecasts storms on the gallup poll
B D#m C#
Woke up from the nightmare news
B D#m C#
And hoping to read a sign in the morning air
F#5 C#
Nothing changes here and nothing improves
F#5 C#
All say my friends who just want out
B D#m C#
And leave these troubles behind
B D#m C#
Scatter like paper in the eye of the storm
B D#m C#
Documented with a silent snow
B D#m C#
That's only heard from far away
F#5 C#
B D#m C# C#
[2nd Verse]
F#5 C#
More cards in play, follow in suit
F#5 C#
Everywhere you look, you only see red
B D#m C#
Wonder when to call off the race
B D#m C#
Watching a horse running down its last legs
B D#m C#
Just when you think it couldn't get much worse
B D#m C#
Watch the numbers rise on the death toll
B D#m C#
And the chimes of freedom flash and fade
B D#m C#
Only heard from far, far away

I hear you can't trust in your own
F# F# A#m C#
Now the grey is broken in the early morn
F# F# A#m C#
And the words forming barely have a voice
F# F# A#m C# F# F#
It's just your heart that's breaking without choice
A#m C# F# F#

A#m C# F# F# A#m C#
Everything you've learned is distorted in your head
F# F# A#m C#
Bouncing off the walls, unraveling the thread
F# F# A#m C#
Staying up with the blue screen glow
F# F# A#m C# F# F#
Forgetting everything you ever dreamed years ago
A#m C# F# F#
A#m C# F# F#
A#m C# F# A#m C#
When the dread is flowing down my veins
F# A#m C#
I want to tear it all down and build it up again
F# A#m C# F#
Tear it all down, build it up again
F#
A#m C# F# F#
A#m C# F# F# A#m C#
I hear your heart that's breaking without choice
F# F# A#m C# F#
I want to hear those chimes ring again
F# A#m C# F#
Ring again
