Intro : B 

verse 1 

Abm                                F# 
I will never believe what they say 
B                                  E 
There is a strength in enduring 
Abm                                F# 
They never speak for themselves 
B                     E 
We are disappearing 

Pre-Chorus 

F# 
You will be all that I seek 
B 
In a twisted light 
Dbm                      Abm 
I would live inside you 
Dbm                            B 
Words will be all that I keep 

In an open space 
Dbm                      Abm 
They would live inside you 

Chorus (2x) 

E 
We hold up to an idea 
F# 
And we'll fight what we can't see 
B 
We just hold up to an idea 
B 
We keep going till we can't hear 
(Dead air) 

Hook (x2) 

E 
We a- we a-are 
F# 
We are all just dead air 
B 
We a- we a-are 
Abm 
We are all just dead air

This is a call to your arms 
B                          E 
To take on mind over matter 
Abm                         F# 
Replacing fist over fist 
B                          E 
We are disappearing 

Pre-Chorus 

F# 
You will be all that I seek 
B 
In a twisted light 
Dbm                      Abm 
I would live inside you 
Dbm                            B 
Words will be all that I keep 

In an open space 
Dbm                      Abm 
They would live inside you 

Chorus (x2) 

E 
We hold up to an idea

And we'll fight what we can't see

We keep going till we can't hear 
(Dead air)
