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

Gm
It’s not that there were ever bad
F
intentions— it’s
Gm
more that we forgot where to call
F
home. From im-

portant things that we don’t know to

mention, it’s the
Gm
uniform that we put on—the
