Intro: Am Dm F G
Am Dm F
So please don't ask me how
G Am
I ended up at my wits end
Dm F
And breaking down
G Am Dm
Pages torn from books we never read
F G
Cause we're plugged into this grid
Am Dm
Don't pull this plug right now
F G
Or then we'd really have to live
F Dm
When I die, will they remember not
F Dm
What I did, but what I haven't done?
F Dm
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
F G
It's life that scares me to death
C
When we built these dreams on sand
G
How they all slipped through our hands
Am F
This might be our only chance
C
Let's take this one day at a time
G
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine
Am F
The time that we kill keeps us alive
( Am Dm F G ) (4x)
Am Dm F
Your words won't save me now
G Am Dm F
I'm at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow
G Am Dm
"Get a grip on yourself" is what they say
F G
Every hour, every day
Am Dm
Hands over my ears
F G
I've been screaming all these years!
F Dm
When I die, will they remember not
F Dm
What I did, but what I haven't done?
F Dm
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
F G
It's life that scares me to death
C
When we built these dreams on sand
G
How they all slipped through our hands
Am F
This might be our only chance
C
Let's take this one day at a time
G
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine
Am F
The time that we kill keeps us alive
(Dm)
Dm C Dm
We came in search of answers!
C A# F G C
We left empty handed again!
Dm C Dm
Shots fired into the sky
C A#
Are now returning!
F G C
Where the fuck will you hide?
Dm C Dm
Hiding from the laughter in the closets of our lives
C A# F C
But the door hinges are squeaking letting in thin shards of light
C Dm
And now a hand's extending outward
C Dm
Quiet comfort they invite
C A#
Do we dare take what they offer?
F C
Do we step into the light?
F Dm
When I die, will they remember not
F Dm
What I did, but what I haven't done?
F Dm
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
F G
It's life that scares me to death

When we built these dreams on sand
