[B] [E]
[C#m] I've heard this old story [F#m] before, where the people keep a-grilling for the [B] metaphors,
but don't lube much [A] up to [E] the imagination.
So I wanna give this imagery [F#m] back,
I 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.
It just seems the [F#m] same, with a different [B] name.
Breaking and rebuilding, ever-proving, always [A] guessing [C#m] next.
[A] No, we're [B] shocking, [E] but we're nothing, [C#m] we're just [F#m] moments.
We're clever, [E] but we're clueless, [C#m] we're just [F#m] humans.
Amusing, [E] then confusing, [C#m] we try.
[A] But [B] where is [E] this all leading?
We'll [C#m] never know.
[F#m]
[B] [E] [C#m] It all happens so fast, you know you could say a [F#m] disaster.
Wanna take a time-lapse and look at it back before the last word.
Maybe that's [E] just the answer that we're after.
But [C#m] I, oh, we're just a bubble in a boiling [F#m] pot.
Just one breath in a chain of [B] thought, but the moment's just combusting.
[E] Feel certain, but we'll never, [A] never know.
It just seems the [F#m] same, give it a different [B] name.
We're begging and we're needing and we're trying and we're breathing, [C#m] never [A] knowing.
[B] We're shocking, [E] but we're nothing, [C#m] we're just [F#m] moments.
[B] Clever, [E] but we're clueless, [C#m] we're just [F#m] humans.
[B] Amusing, [E] then confusing, [C#m] [F#m] helping.
[B] Building, [E] never growing, [C#m] never knowing.
[A] You can never know, [B] never know.
[E]
Knock, knock, coming door to [A] door.
You hear that the metaphor's better than [B] yours.
And you can't either [E] sink or swim.
Things are looking pretty [C#m] grim.
If you don't believe in what [F#m] this ain't feeding, it's [B] got no feeling.
So we'll [E] read it again and [A] again and again.
It just seems the [F#m] same, so many different [B] names.
Our hearts are strong, our heads are weak, we'll always [A] be competing, [C#m] never [A] knowing.
[B] We're shocking, [E] but we're nothing, [C#m] we're just [F#m] moments.
Clever, [E] but we're clueless, [C#m] we're just [F#m] humans.
[B] Amusing, [E] then confusing, [C#m] but the [F#m] truth is, [B] all we [E] got is questions we'll [C#m] never know.
[A] Never know, [B] never know.
