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

Real fantasy, wishing it was make-believe, ahh
Em Bm
What is the reason of doing nothing at all, watching it fall?

I won't stay quiet, the flicker's burning low
