Verse 1:
Fm
This is our true alarm. This is reality.
D#
We will do what we can.
Fm
We are just figurines with a theology
D#
that we don’t understand.
Pre-Chorus:
Cm
We can’t forget the
G#
beginning, when He
A#
set our broken wings.
Chorus:
Cm
God, how much does it
G#
take for us to be
D#
loved? For us to be
A#
saved? We all are
Cm
birds stuck inside our
G#
cage, covered up with
D#
praise. And behind our
A#
saints we hide our
Cm
face. Oh, the numbers
G#
come. Yeah, they’re dialing
D#
in. We can’t
Fm (?)
help but to comp-
A#
are ourselves again.
Break:

Verse 2:
Fm
I can’t believe in this—this blue-lipped, lifeless kiss.
D#
And we can’t see past our thrones.
Fm
We fight for life within, but our walls are wearing thin.
D#
Oh God, where have we gone?
Pre-Chorus:
Cm
When I’m just one fighting in-
G#
difference, does it
A#m
matter what I say?
Chorus:
Cm
God, how much does it
G#
take for us to be
D#
loved? For us to be
A#
saved? We all are
Cm
birds stuck inside our
G#
cage, covered up with
D#
praise. And behind our
A#
saints we hide our
Cm
face. Oh, the numbers
G#
come. Yeah, they’re dialing
D#
in. We can’t

help but to comp-
A#

It’s not that there were ever bad
D#
