Intro
A#m G#
Verse 1:
A#m
This is our true alarm. This is reality.
G#
We will do what we can.
A#m
We are just figurines with a theology
G#
that we don’t understand.
Pre-Chorus:
Fm
We can’t forget the
C#
beginning, when He
D#
set our broken wings.
Chorus:
Fm
God, how much does it
C#
take for us to be
G#
loved? For us to be
D#
saved? We all are
Fm
birds stuck inside our
C#
cage, covered up with
G#
praise. And behind our
D#
saints we hide our
Fm
face. Oh, the numbers
C#
come. Yeah, they’re dialing
G#
in. We can’t
A#m (?)
help but to comp-
D#
are ourselves again.
Break:
A#m G#
Verse 2:
A#m
I can’t believe in this—this blue-lipped, lifeless kiss.
G#
And we can’t see past our thrones.
A#m
We fight for life within, but our walls are wearing thin.
G#
Oh God, where have we gone?
Pre-Chorus:
Fm
When I’m just one fighting in-
C#
difference, does it
D#m
matter what I say?
Chorus:
Fm
God, how much does it
C#
take for us to be
G#
loved? For us to be
D#
saved? We all are
Fm
birds stuck inside our
C#
cage, covered up with
G#
praise. And behind our
D#
saints we hide our
Fm
face. Oh, the numbers
C#
come. Yeah, they’re dialing
G#
in. We can’t
A#m (?)
help but to comp-
D#
are ourselves again.

A#m
It’s not that there were ever bad
G#
intentions— it’s
A#m
more that we forgot where to call

home. From im-
