[C#m] [F#m]
[B] [E]
[C#m] I heard this old story [F#m] before, where the people keep a grillin' for the [B] metaphors, don't
leave much up to [E] the imagination, so I wanna give this imagery [F#m] back, know it just ain't
so easy like [B] last time, I turn the page, I read the [E] story again, and again, [A] and again,
just seems the [F#m] same, with a different [B] name, breaking and rebuilding, ever proving, always
[A] guessing, never knowing, we're [B] shocking [E] but nothing, [C#m] we're just [F#m] moaning, we're clever [E] but
the cruelest, [C#m] we're just human, [F#m] amusing [E] and confusing, [C#m] we're [A] trying, but [B] where is [E] this
all leading, I don't know, [F#m]
[B] [E] [C#m] it all happened so fast, you could say [F#m] disaster, when I take
a time lapse and look at it back, [B] it's on the last word, maybe that's [E] just the answer,
that we're after, oh just a bubble in a boiling [F#m] pot, just one breath in a chain of [B] thought,
moments just [A] combusting, [E] feel certain but we'll never, [A] never know, just seems the [F#m] same,
with a different [B] name, breaking and we're needing and we're trying and we're [A] breathing, never
[F#m] knowing, we're shocking [E] but nothing, [C#m] we're just [F#m] moaning, we're clever [E] but the cruelest,
we're [C#m] just human, [F#m] [E] amusing and confusing, [C#m] we're [F#m] [B] building [E] and we're growing, [C#m] never knowing,
[F#m]
[B] never knowing, [E]
knock knock on my door [F#m] today, that the [A] metaphor's better than [B] yours, and
you can't either [E] sink or swim, things are looking pretty grim, if [C#m] you don't believe in what
[F#m] this is feeding, it's got [B] no feeling, so we'll [E] read it again and [A] again and again, just seems
the [F#m] same, so many different [B] names, our hearts are strong, our heads are weak, we'll always
be competing, [C#m] never [A] knowing, [B] we're shocking [E] but nothing, we're [C#m] just [A] moaning, [B] we're clever
but [E] the cruelest, we're [C#m] just [F#m] human, amusing [E] and confusing, [C#m] but the truth [F#m] is, [B] all we [E] got
is questions, we'll [C#m] never know, [A] never know, [B] never know
