Intro
:
C#-F#-A-C#
[Verse]:
D#
Ring the verse, let it in, said softly begin
C#
If it feels like the first time, don't let it end
G# B C#
Cause it wanders by like something that could have been
D# C#
If I were to write the song that could penetrate your ears
G#
Would it calm your trembling soul
B C#
Would it ease your every fear
Pre-Chorus to Chorus:
Fm G#
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
Fm B
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
C# C#-F#-A-C# C#-F#-A-C#
And you shiver at the sight...
D# G# B C# C#-F#-A-C#
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
[Verse]:
D#
Could one song solve all our problems
C#
Could it have the strength to heal
G#
Or would it cripple and destroy
B C#
And leave nothing unrevealed
D#
Might it uproot every lie
C#
And force us all to cower
G#
Beneath its tremendous weight
B C#
In the wake of all its power
Pre-Chorus to Chorus:
Fm G#
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
Fm B
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
C# C#-F#-A-C# C#-F#-A-C#
And you shiver at the sight...
D# G# B C# C#-F#-A-C#
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
C#-F#-A-C# (4x)
[Solo]:
D# C# G# A-C# (2x)
D#
Oh, did you know, did you know
Did you know better
C#
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better
G#
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better
B
Don't you know that
C# C#-F#-A-C# C#-F#-A-C#
you shiver at the sight...
D# G# B C# C#-F#-A-C#
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
D# G# B C#
If I were to write the song
D# G# B C#
That could somehow change the world
D# G#
Would it be a calm surrender
B C#
Or a fight to the death?
D# G#
Would it give something to live for
B C#
Would we give our final breath?
D# G#
Would it be a roaring opera
B C#
Or as sweet as a child's kiss?
D# G#
Would it sound like all the others
B C#
Or would it sound something like this
