Intro
=====
Bm G
Verse 1
=======
Bm G
You read the news, it turns you inside out
D Dsus2 G
And everybody feels the same as you
Bm G
In uncertain times, uncertain rules apply
D Dsus2 G
Caught in the blind spot of mirrored love
Chorus 1
========
D Dadd9
Can you feel real like you are?
Bm Bm7 A Asus4
Can you feel alive the way I feel you now?
D
And the biggest chance that we can take
Dadd9
Is so often wide awake
Bm Bm7 A Asus4
Hold me now So we can feel alive
Bm
Tonight
Verse 2
=======
G
I need to feel you there
D Dsus2 G
I want to know where I belong
Bm
And I felt the sting
G
The sting of corrosion
D Dsus2 G
I need a safe place to close my eyes
Chorus 2
========
D Dadd9
Can you feel real like you are?
Bm Bm7 A Asus4
Can you feel alive the way I feel you now?
D
And the biggest chance that we can take

Is so often wide awake
Bm Bm7 A Asus4
Hold me now So we can feel alive
Bm
Tonight
Verse 3
=======
G
Oh, we were so lost
D Dsus2
And there was so much more
G
Than you could bear
Bm
And I was cold in my defeat
G
You're alone and incomplete
D Dsus2 G
When the sound could break down the walls
Solo
