Intro: Bm F# G F# G F#
(base horm melody goes with those chords)
Verse #1:
[Bm]I once knew a guy, obsessed with the afterlife
[F#]Oh what a terrible [G]day that [F#]was, he [G]realized he'd [F#]wasted all his
[Bm]Time was ticking by, and he'd been left behind
A[F#]nd as the clock ti[G]ck-tocked h[F#]is heart d[G]id stop and ev[F#]erything he had was fked
Pre-chorus/Chorus:
[G]And we know not what we d[F#]o (Can you hear [Bm]them [A]call?[G])[F#][G]
Will we ever make i[F#]t through?
[Bm]As [C#]they wa[D]tch u[Bm]s
[G]fall from the sky to the ground [A]to the sea
Woe is me, w[D]oe is me, no one will save[F#] you now
[G]We can only look a[A]way (a[F#]way!), away-way-way[Bm]-way-[A]way [G][F#]
[G]We'll not be vict[A]ims there'[D]ll be no victims o[F#]f to speak
[G]And only then[A] will we be free[Bm]
[G]And up will rise[A] the meek[Bm]
And when we fall we w[D]ill [A]fall together[G]
[Bm]No one will ca[D]tch us so we'll catch ou[A]rselves[G]
[Bm]And where we roam [D]we will[A] roam forever[G]
[Bm]No one will un[D]derstand[F#] what we meant

Verse #2:
[Bm]The beaten and the bruised, forsaken, the abused
[F#]Oh what a glorious day we'l[G]l have risi[F#]ng up [G]and claiming all o[F#]ur dues
[Bm]The day will come as sure as the ever-setting sun
[F#]All of those that self-[G]impo[F#]sed will find the[G]mselves so indisposed[F#]
Pre-chorus/Chorus:
