VERSE: 
C#                    
Fight the fight alone 
A#m                    
When the world is full of victims 
C#                    
Dims a fading light 
       A#m                    
In our souls 
C#                    
Leave the peace alone 
A#m                    
How we all are slowly changing 
C#                    
Dims a fading light 
       A#m                    
In our Souls 
  
                   
PRE-Chorus: 
   G#         F#           A#m 
In my opinion seeing is to know 
    G#                
the things we hold 
    F#              A#m  
are always first to go 
    G#                
and who’s to say 
   F#            F     
we won’t end up alone 
  
                   
 
                    C# 
On broken wings I’m falling 
                G#/C    
and it won’t be long 
                  A#m 
The skin on me is burning 
                    F# 
By the fires of the sun 
                     C# 
On skinned knees I’m bleeding 
                G#/C    
and it won’t be long 
                      A#m 
I’ve got to find that meaning 
                   F# 
I’ll search for so long   

C#, A#m  2x  
                 


C#                    
Cry ourselves to sleep 
A#m                    
We will sleep alone forever 
C#                    
Will you lay me down 
       A#m             
In the same place with all I love 
C#                    
Mend the broken homes 
A#m                    
Care for them 
                    
they are our brothers 
C#                           A#m 
Save the fading light in our souls 
                    
   G#         F#           A#m 
In my opinion seeing is to know 
G#                    
What you give 
     F#           A#m    
will always carry you 
    G#                
And who’s to say 
   F#               F 
we won’t survive it too 
                    

 
                    C# 
On broken wings I’m falling 
                G#/C    
and it won’t be long 
                  A#m 
The skin on me is burning 
                    F# 
By the fires of the sun 
                     C# 
On skinned knees I’m bleeding 
                G#/C    
and it won’t be long 
                      A#m 
I’ve got to find that meaning 
                   F# 
I’ll search for so long    
                    
 
G#                    
Set a 
     F#               
free all 
A#m                    
Relying on their will 
           G#         F# 
to make me all that I am 
                 A#m  
and all that I’ll be 
G#                    
Set a 
     F#               
free all 
A#m                    
Will fall between the cracks 
                  G#        F# 
with memories of all that I am 
                  F  
and all that I’ll be

The skin on me is burning 
                    F# 
By the fires of the sun 
                     C# 
On skinned knees I’m bleeding 
                G#/C    
and it won’t be long 
                      A#m 
I’ve got to find that meaning
