Verse 1:

                    D
Like a city overthrown
                             F#m
We're turning buildings into stone
                             E
We leave the bodies to the crows
                Bm
On a funeral of fire

                          D
Now we're choking on the fumes
                             F#m
Spread the lie and kill the truth
                             E
They're in the ashes of the proof
                         Bm
We watch the flames rise higher

Verse 2:
                               D
Now we're falling through the ice
                               F#m
We made our bed and rolled the dice
                        E
Well every gamble has a price
                           Bm
We watched the cracks grow wider

                              D
Waves are climbing past your knees
                            F#m
It's just the coming of the seas
                           E
It's getting harder now to breathe
                          Bm
We watched the tides rise higher

      F#m

I said I know you know we feel it in our bones

I said I know you know we feel it in our bones

I said I know, woah oh oh!
