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