Intro

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