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

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

F
are ourselves again.

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