The Strength To Go On

[Intro]
C#m E D# C#m A B
C#m E D# C#m
A B        C#m E D# C#m
   Welcome home

[Verse 1]
A B       C#m E D# C#m
   While away
A B          C#m     E D#   C#m A    B
   They have tampered  with the locks
         E               F#m
And your things they rearranged
       C#m E D# C#m A B         C#m E D# C#m
"We propose            a better way"
A B         C#m      E D#   C#m A  B
   Said the note they  left be_hind
         E            F#m
In their wake of disarray
            A
You fell in place

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't fall asleep
B
 They'll find us here
C#m              E
   I know a place to disappear
A              B
 As a voice proclaimed

[Chorus]
           C#m          E           A
What we are   is the sum of the thousand lies
            C#m          E
What we know   is almost nothing at all
A          C#m           E            A
 But we are   what we are till the day we die
        B                                A
Or till we don't have the strength to go on
     B                                A
Till we don't have the strength to go on

[Bridge]
C#m E D# C#m A B C#m E D# C#m
A B       C#m E D# C#m
   Let us cry

[Verse 2]
A B      C#m  E D# C#m
   Let us   be
A B       C#m E D# C#m A     B
   Let us open  up our hearts
        E          F#m
Without fear of anything
       C#m E D# C#m
Faith alone
A B          C#m E D# C#m
   Is all we need
A B      C#m       E D# C#m  A     B
   To traverse this  burning bridge
      E                F#m
Now before it gets too late
                A
You claim "it's fine"

[Pre-Chorus]
But the heart reveals
B
 What smiles betray
C#m             E
   Your sad sad eyes gave you away
A              B
 And don't you know

[Chorus]
           C#m          E           A
What we are   is the sum of the thousand lies
            C#m          E
What we know   is almost nothing at all
A          C#m           E            A
 But we are   what we are till the day we die
        B                                A
Or till we don't have the strength to go on
     B                                A
Till we don't have the strength to go on

[Bridge]
B              C#m
 Our shoulders bear an awful weight
A
 But still we trudge on just the same
B              C#m
 Our colors run   then leave a stain
A
 They blacken our once honest name
B              C#m
 But how can we   argue, tell me
A
 Over the fury and the fire
B                          C#m
 How many times can we tell   you that we
A
 Are not like you, we see right through
B
 Your poor disguise that fails to fool
A            C#m                  B
 The wary eye   that's trained on you

[Interlude]
           C#m          B           A
What we are   is the sum of the thousand lies
            C#m          B
What we know   is almost nothing at all
A          C#m           B            A
 But we are   what we are till the day we die
        B                                A
Or till we don't have the strength to go on
     B                                A
Till we don't have the strength to go on

[Chorus]
           C#m          E           A
What we are   is the sum of the thousand lies
            C#m          E
What we know   is almost nothing at all
A          C#m           E            A
 But we are   what we are till the day we die
        B                                A
Or till we don't have the strength to go on
     B                                A
Till we don't have the strength to go on
     B
Yeah we don't have the strength to go on
