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 D# 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
D# F
Would it ease your every fear
Pre-Chorus to Chorus:
Am C
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
Am D#
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 D# 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
D# F
And leave nothing unrevealed
G
Might it uproot every lie
F
And force us all to cower
C
Beneath its tremendous weight
D# F
In the wake of all its power
Pre-Chorus to Chorus:
Am C
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
Am D#
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 D# F C#-F#-A-F
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight

[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
D#
Don't you know that
F C#-F#-A-F C#-F#-A-F
you shiver at the sight...
G C D# F C#-F#-A-F
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
G C D# F
If I were to write the song
G C D# F
That could somehow change the world
G C
Would it be a calm surrender
D# F
Or a fight to the death?
G C
Would it give something to live for
D# F
Would we give our final breath?
G C
Would it be a roaring opera
D# F
Or as sweet as a child's kiss?
G C
Would it sound like all the others
D# F
Or would it sound something like this
