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