[Intro]
| E5 | - | C5 | - |

[Verse 1]
E5                                 C5
  So when the saints go marching in
E5                              C5
  They won't be singing for your  sins
E5                              C5
  They just hope to hell you've learnt something
               E5   C5
Living and breathing

[Intro 2]
E5
  Everybody dies with a debt

[Verse 2]
No silence,
watching death is how we live
Take it or leave it
Don't waste your breath
I clear my mind, deny real life,
define here
Without borders, possessions or enemies

[Chorus]
E5                    G5
Everybody dies with a debt
       C5                                          E5
We all die for a life that we fear we will only forget
      G5                    C5                      G5
Or confess to a God that we know we only hear in ourselves
          E5                       G5
Bottle it up, let your problems distill
   C5
Forget your dreams or fulfill them
E5         G5
  Leave no trace, waste away
C5
  It's time for change
D5 E5            G5                   C5
     So when the saints go marching in
E5              G5              C5
  They won't be singing for your  sins

[Bridge 1]
E5          G5                  C5
  They just hope to hell you've learnt something
               E5   G5 C5 D5
Living and breathing

[Verse 3]
Four walls in this prison
But I can still see the river
Four walls in this prison
Lies to poison your decisions in life,
take note

[Bridge 2]
Now you tell me why you're living a lie

[Break]
Don't ignore it, now you know
I saved my soul
I sold it to the open road

[Chorus]
        E5                          G5
I found hope in the wreckage of progress
C5
Trophies shattered and stained
                   E5
Do what you're told
                        G5
There's a mold to be broken
  C5                          G5
A light burning over your name
And
E5                   G5
  But I never said I wasn't the culprit
C5
  Never said I wasn't deceived
E5                 G5
  Just trying to rewrite the wrongs
C5                     G5
  That were written on me
E5                    G5
Everybody dies with a debt
       C5                                          E5
We all die for a life that we fear we will only forget
      G5                    C5                      D5
Or confess to a God that we know we only hear in ourselves

[Bridge 1]
E5            G5                   C5
  So when the saints go marching in
E5              G5              C5
  They won't be singing for your  sins
E5          G5                  C5
  They just hope to hell you've learnt something
               E5   G5
Living and breathing
