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

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

Fm G# C# C# Fm G#
Everything you've learned is distorted in your head
C# C# Fm G#
Bouncing off the walls, unraveling the thread
C# C# Fm G#
Staying up with the blue screen glow
C# C# Fm G# C# C#
Forgetting everything you ever dreamed years ago
Fm G# C# C#
Fm G# C# C#
Fm G# C# Fm G#
When the dread is flowing down my veins
C# Fm G#
I want to tear it all down and build it up again
C# Fm G# C#
Tear it all down, build it up again

I want to hear those chimes ring again
C# Fm G# C#
Ring again
