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

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

portant things that we don’t know to
E
mention, it’s the

uniform that we put on—the
