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

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

formula we have for
