Intro x3 
Bm D Em G 
Bm D Em D 


verse 1 
Bm D      G   
  The disconnect 
            Bm 
Is welling up 
     D     G  D               Bm 
And good intentions are not enough 
     D         G 
Your words are weary 
                   Bm 
Their hearts are strained 
   D          G    D 
And idle vows find the deepest pains 


verse 2 
Bm    D         G 
  I’m sick, I’m tired 
Of hollow hope 
Bm    D      G    D 
  Of promises, empty 
                Bm 
Your way with words 
 D              G               Bm 
They’re feeding back inside my head 
        D          G         D 
Oh, the things I could say that won’t change a thing 


Pre-Chorus 
Bm G D Em 
Bm G D    Em 
     I am not the same 
Bm G D Em 
G              A 
I won’t feed on fame 

 
G               Em 
You’re one of a thousand voices 
Bm                D 
  In my head that all just sound the same 
G               Em 
  If mine never made a difference 
Bm                  D 
  It won’t make the meaning change 
G                 Em 
  You’re one of a thousand voices 
Bm                D 
  In my head that all just sound the same 
G           Em 
  If I will make a change 
Bm           D 
  It’s by my words and not my name 
Bm D Em G 
Bm D Em D 


verse 3 
Bm    D          G 
  I’m tired, I’m sick 
          Bm 
Of misfit beggars 
D         G     D 
With able tongues and easy outs 
Bm     D      G                        Bm 
  I hear you clearer than you hear yourself 
D         G       D  
Bite down on your blindness, and spit it out 


Pre-Chorus 
Bm G D Em 
Bm G D    Em 
     I am not the same 
Bm G D Em 
G              A 
I won’t feed on fame 


G               Em 
You’re one of a thousand voices 
Bm                D 
  In my head that all just sound the same 
G               Em 
  If mine never made a difference 
Bm                  D 
  It won’t make the meaning change 
G                 Em 
  You’re one of a thousand voices 
Bm                D 
  In my head that all just sound the same 
G           Em 
  If I will make a change 
Bm           D 
  It’s by my words and not my name 
Bm D G Em 


Bridge 
Bm 
I won’t sink into the sea of grey 
D 
A violence of color 
G 
 I won’t melt into the choir of angels 
Em 
I’ll step up and scream it 
I am dissonant 


Breakdown

G               Em 
  If mine never made a difference 
Bm                  D 
  It won’t make the meaning change 
G                 Em 
  You’re one of a thousand voices 
Bm                D
