[1st Verse]
B5 F#
Felt a tremor stir beneath my breath
B5 F#
That forecasts storms on the gallup poll
E G#m F#
Woke up from the nightmare news
E G#m F#
And hoping to read a sign in the morning air
B5 F#
Nothing changes here and nothing improves
B5 F#
All say my friends who just want out
E G#m F#
And leave these troubles behind
E G#m F#
Scatter like paper in the eye of the storm
E G#m F#
Documented with a silent snow
E G#m F#
That's only heard from far away
B5 F#
E G#m F# F#
[2nd Verse]
B5 F#
More cards in play, follow in suit
B5 F#
Everywhere you look, you only see red
E G#m F#
Wonder when to call off the race
E G#m F#
Watching a horse running down its last legs
E G#m F#
Just when you think it couldn't get much worse
E G#m F#
Watch the numbers rise on the death toll
E G#m F#
And the chimes of freedom flash and fade
E G#m F#
Only heard from far, far away

Now the grey is broken in the early morn

It's just your heart that's breaking without choice

D#m F# B B
D#m F# B B D#m F#
Everything you've learned is distorted in your head
B B D#m F#
Bouncing off the walls, unraveling the thread
B B D#m F#
Staying up with the blue screen glow
B B D#m F# B B
Forgetting everything you ever dreamed years ago
D#m F# B B
D#m F# B B
D#m F# B D#m F#
When the dread is flowing down my veins

I want to tear it all down and build it up again

Tear it all down, build it up again

Ring again
