Verse 1:
             C
When we were young we knew everything strength from our innocence

Taught us to paint with our words
           Am                  G
As we grow tired and jaded the colors are faded
F

Fire will no longer burn
           C
All of the anger and hunger that shapes our desires

Hanging to hope by a string
          Am                          G
Never had thoughts of the future knew we'd never get there
F
We are the kings of our dreams


Pre-Chorus:
Am                G
All the best laid plans
        F
Slipped through my hands


Chorus:
                C
You know we can run 'til the day that we're dead
                 Em                        F
Or stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared
Am               G                 F
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?
              C
'Cause we can scream 'til the world has gone deaf
            Em                          F
Fall on our knees if that's all we've got left
Am               G                 F
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?


Post-Chorus:
C         C
   Can we   save this
Am              Am          G         F
   And bring us back to the heroes we were?
       F
Can we   save this
G               Am          C/B       C
   And bring us back to the heroes we were?


Verse 2:
C
Empires have fallen and joy can be stolen

When things are much worse than you think (Worse than you think)
    Am                         G
The streets are left broken, a memory holding
F
Onto the songs that we sing
   C
We started with something but ended with nothing

Losing but praying to win (Praying to win)
    Am                    G
Let go as we're falling I can't hear them calling
F
Give in to all of our sins


Pre-Chorus:
Am                G
All the best laid plans
        F
Slipped through my hands


Chorus:
                C
You know we can run 'til the day that we're dead
                 Em                        F
Or stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared
Am               G                 F
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?
              C
'Cause we can scream 'til the world has gone deaf
            Em                          F
Fall on our knees if that's all we've got left
Am               G                 F
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?

       F
Can we   save this

Bridge:

When the future's ending
G
   They will bleed you empty
Am                 C/B
Don't let me down, don't let me down
C
Don't let me down
F
  Yeah, we can make it back there
G
   The home we had is nowhere
Am              C/B
Turn it around, turn it around
C          F
Turn it around


Verse 3:
C
No one can find us when time has escaped us

How did we fall through the cracks?
     Am                       G
It's empty out here where the world disappears
F
One day we'll find our way back


Chorus:
                C
You know we can run 'til the day that we're dead
                 Em                        F
Or stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared
Am               G                 F
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?
              C

Fall on our knees if that's all we've got left

Can we make it back to the heroes we were?
