Here's my acoustic version of this wondeful song:
C#m _
[C#m] [F#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [F#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [F#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [F#m] [A] [B]
So p[C#m]lease don't ask [F#m]me how[A]
I ended up a[B]t my wits end[C#m]
And bre[F#m]aking down[A]
[B]Pages torn from books w[C#m]e never read,[F#m]
Cause we're plugge[A]d into this grid.[B]
Don't pu[C#m]ll this plug right now,[F#m]
Or then we'd really[A] have to live.[B]
When I die, [A]will they remember no[F#m]t
What I did, [A]but what I haven't[F#m] done?
It's not the end[A] that I fear with e[F#m]ach breath
It's [A]life that scares me to death.[B]
When we built t[E]hese dreams on sand
How they all sl[B]ipped through our hands
[C#m]This might be our only[A] chance
Let's take this one d[E]ay at a time
I'll hold your han[B]d if you hold mine
The ti[C#m]me that we kill keeps us alive[A].
[C#m] [F#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [F#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [F#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [F#m] [A] [B]
[C#m]Your words won't save [F#m]me now.[A]
I'm at the edg[B]e feeling the sweat dri[C#m]p from my b[F#m]row.[A]
"Get a gri[B]p on yourself" i[C#m]s what they say,[F#m]
Every hou[A]r, every day.[B]
[C#m]Hands over my ears,[F#m]
I've been scr[A]eaming all these years![B]
When I die, [A]will they remember no[F#m]t
What I did, [A]but what I haven't[F#m] done?
It's not the end[A] that I fear with e[F#m]ach breath
It's [A]life that scares me to death.[B]
When we built t[E]hese dreams on sand
How they all sl[B]ipped through our hands
[C#m]This might be our only[A] chance
Let's take this one d[E]ay at a time
I'll hold your han[B]d if you hold mine
The ti[C#m]me that we kill keeps us alive[A].
F#m _ _
F#m E F#m _
We came in search of answers!
E D _ A B _ E
We left empty handed again!
F#m _ E F#m _
Shots fired into the sky...
E D _
Are now returning!
A B _ E
Where the fuck will you hide?
F#m _ E F#m _
Hiding from the laughter in the closets of our lives,
E D _ A E _
But the door hinges are squeaking letting in thin shards of light.
E F#m _
And now a hand's extending outward,
E F#m _
Quiet comfort they invite,
E D _
Do we dare take what they offer?
A E _
Do we step into the light?
When I die, [A]will they remember no[F#m]t
What I did, [A]but what I haven't[F#m] done?
It's not the end[A] that I fear with e[F#m]ach breath
It's [A]life that scares me to death.[B]
When we built t[E]hese dreams on sand
How they all sl[B]ipped through our hands
[C#m]This might be our only[A] chance
Let's take this one d[E]ay at a time
I'll hold your han[B]d if you hold mine
The ti[C#m]me that we kill keeps us alive[A].
