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