[G#m]
It's such [F#m] a tired game, will [G#m] it ever stop?
How [F#m] will this all play out, upside [G#m] out of my mouth?
By now we should know how to communicate, instead of coming to [C#m] blows we're on a roll
[B] And there ain't no [C#m] stopping us now, [B] we're burning [C#m] under control
[B] Isn't it [C#m] strange how we're [B] all burning under [G#m] the same sun?
By now we say it's a war for peace, it's the same old game, but do [B] we really wanna play?
We could close our [C#m] eyes, it's still there, [B] we could say it's [C#m] us against them
[B] We could try but [C#m] nobody wins, [B] gravity has [F#m] gotta hold on us all
Could try to [B] put it out, but it's [F#m] a growing flame
Using [G#m] fear as fuel, burning [F#m] down our name
And it [G#m] won't take too long, cause words [F#m] all burn the same
[F#] And who we [G#] gonna blame [G#m] now we know
[C#m] It's such a cry, [B] [A]
[G#m] [C#m] [B] [A]
[G#m] [C#m] [B] [A] cry, cry [G#m] shame
[F#m]
[C#m] [B] [C#m]
[B] [C#m] [B] [C#m]
[B] [G#m] By now it's beginning to show, a number of people are numbers that [C#m] ain't coming home
[B] I could close my [C#m] eyes, it's still [B] there, close my [C#m] mouth, we know
[B] I could close my [C#m] heart and not care, [B] but gravity has gotta [G#m] hold on us all
It's a terrific price to pay, but in the true sense [C#m] of the word
[B] I'll be using [C#m] what we've learned, [B] in the true sense [C#m] of the word
[B] I'll be losing [C#m] what we were, [B] it's such [F#m] a dire game
Will [G#m] it ever stop, it's not for [F#m] me to say
And is [G#m] it in our blood, [F#m] or is it just our fate
And how will [G#] this all [G#m] play out, a [F#m] side out of mine
Who we [G#m] gonna blame, all in all
[C#m] It's such a cry, [B] cry, [A] cry [G#m] [C#m] [B] [A]
[G#m] [C#m] [B] [E]
[G#m] shame
[F#m] [C#m]
