Intro
Am G
Verse 1:
Am
This is our true alarm. This is reality.
G
We will do what we can.
Am
We are just figurines with a theology
G
that we don’t understand.
Pre-Chorus:
Em
We can’t forget the
C
beginning, when He
D
set our broken wings.
Chorus:
Em
God, how much does it
C
take for us to be
G
loved? For us to be
D
saved? We all are
Em
birds stuck inside our
C
cage, covered up with
G
praise. And behind our
D
saints we hide our
Em
face. Oh, the numbers
C
come. Yeah, they’re dialing
G
in. We can’t
Am (?)
help but to comp-
D
are ourselves again.
Break:
Am G
Verse 2:
Am
I can’t believe in this—this blue-lipped, lifeless kiss.
G
And we can’t see past our thrones.
Am
We fight for life within, but our walls are wearing thin.
G
Oh God, where have we gone?
Pre-Chorus:
Em
When I’m just one fighting in-
C
difference, does it
Dm
matter what I say?
Chorus:
Em
God, how much does it
C
take for us to be
G
loved? For us to be
D
saved? We all are
Em
birds stuck inside our
C
cage, covered up with
G
praise. And behind our
D
saints we hide our
Em
face. Oh, the numbers
C
come. Yeah, they’re dialing
G
in. We can’t
Am (?)
help but to comp-
D
are ourselves again.
Outro:
Am G Am G
Am
It’s not that there were ever bad
G
intentions— it’s
Am
more that we forgot where to call
G
home. From im-
Am
portant things that we don’t know to
G
mention, it’s the
Am
uniform that we put on—the
G
formula we have for
