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

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

Em
It’s not that there were ever bad
D
intentions— it’s
Em
more that we forgot where to call
D
home. From im-
Em
portant things that we don’t know to
D
mention, it’s the
Em
uniform that we put on—the

formula we have for
