[Verse 1]
Bb  Cm            F       Ab
  So  please don't ask me how
        Bb            Cm     F
I ended up at my wits end And
         Ab
breaking down
Bb              Cm             F
Pages torn from books we never read,
            Ab                Bb
Cause we're plugged into this grid.
     Cm
Don't
                     F
pull this plug right now,
             Ab             Bb
Or then we'd really have to live.

[Pre-Chorus]
       Ab               F
When I die, will they remember not
       Ab             F
What I did, but what I haven't done?
             Ab             F
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
     Ab                     Bb
It's life that scares me to death.

[Chorus]
        Eb
When we built these dreams on sand
         Bb                               Cm
How they all slipped through our hands And
                 Ab                           Eb
this might be our  only chance Let's take this
one day at a time
               Bb                       Cm
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine The
                       Ab         Cm
time that we kill keeps  us alive.

[Verse 2]
Bb    Cm Cm         F        Ab
  Your   words won't save me now.
           Bb              Cm          F        Ab
I'm at the edge feeling the  sweat drip from my brow.
       Bb          Cm                F
"Get a grip on yourself" is what they say,
      Ab          Bb
Every hour, every day.
Cm            F
Hands over my ears,
          Ab                  Bb
I've been screaming all these years!

[Pre-Chorus]
       Ab               F
When I die, will they remember not
       Ab             F
What I did, but what I haven't done?
             Ab             F
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
     Ab                     Bb
It's life that scares me to death.

[Bridge]
       Eb F                     Eb Db/Ab
We came    in search of answers!
       Ab
We left
Eb            Eb F                Eb F
  empty handed  again! Shots fired
               Eb Db/Ab
into the sky...
                  Ab Eb
Are now returning!
                   Eb    F
Where the fuck will  you hide? Hiding
                  Eb     F
from the laughter in the closets of our lives,
Eb      Db/Ab                     Ab      Eb
But the door hinges are squeaking letting in thin shards of
                F
light. And now a
                          Eb   F
hand's extending outward, Quiet
comfort they invite,
Eb    Db/Ab
Do we dare take what they offer?
Ab    Eb
Do we step into the light?

[Pre-Chorus]
       Ab               F
When I die, will they remember not
       Ab             F
What I did, but what I haven't done?
             Ab             F
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
     Ab                     Bb
It's life that scares me to death.

How they all slipped through our hands And

               Bb                       Cm
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine The
                       Ab
time that we kill keeps  us alive.

        Eb
When we built these dreams on sand
         Bb                               Cm
How they all slipped through our hands And

               Bb                       Cm
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine The
                       Ab         Eb
time that we kill keeps  us alive.
