Intro
F G Am Em
[Verse 1]
F G
I, I can't lie, I'm scared to open my eyes, 'cause
Am Em
What if I find nothing at all, nothing at all?
F G
What is the point of my lips if they don't make noise, oh
Am Em
What is the point of doing nothing at all, watching it fall?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F G
The flicker burning, you know the time is running, running out
Am Em
Only I see all the diamonds, diamonds, breaking down
F G
I won't stay quiet, I won't stay quiet, 'cause staying silent's the same as dying
Am Em
I won't stay quiet, the flicker's burning low
[Chorus 1]
F G
This is not a, this is not a swan, swan song
Am Em
This is not a, this is not a swan, swan song
F G
We just gotta, we just gotta hold on tonight
Am Em
This is not a, this is not a swan song, swan song, swan dive (yeah), it's a new life
[Verse 2]
F G
Real fantasy, wishing it was make-believe, ahh
Am Em
What is the reason of doing nothing at all, watching it fall?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F G
The flicker burning, you know the time is running, running out
Am Em
Only I see all the diamonds, diamonds, breaking down
F G
I won't stay quiet, I won't stay quiet, 'cause staying silent's the same as dying
Am Em
I won't stay quiet, the flicker's burning low
