Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard
(if you want it higher click the transpose arrow up on the left side bar)

I did not include the song after with the piano.

Intro: C#-F#-A-B


Verse:
     C#C#
Ring the verse, let it in, said softly begin
   BB
If it feels like the first time, don't let it end
     F#F#          A augmentedA          BB
Cause it wanders by like something that could have been
  C#C#                 BB
If I were to write the song that could penetrate your ears
     F#F#
Would it calm your trembling soul
     A augmentedA        BB
Would it ease your every fear

Pre-Chorus to Chorus:
     EbmEbm                  F#F#
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
            EbmEbm                A augmentedA
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
   BB    C#-F#-A-B  C#-F#-A-B
And you shiver at the sight...
    C#C#     F#F#       A augmentedA    BB    C#-F#-A-B
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight


Verse:
     C#C#
Could one song solve all our problems
     BB
Could it have the strength to heal
      F#F#
Or would it cripple and destroy
     A augmentedA      BB
And leave nothing unrevealed
C#C#
Might it uproot every lie
  BB
And force us all to cower
F#F#
Beneath its tremendous weight
    A augmentedA        BB
In the wake of all its power

Pre-Chorus to Chorus:
     EbmEbm                  F#F#
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
            EbmEbm                A augmentedA
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
     BB      C#-F#-A-B  C#-F#-A-B
And you shiver at the sight...
    C#C#     F#F#       A augmentedA    BB    C#-F#-A-B
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight

C#-F#-A-B (4x)

Solo: C#C# BB F#F# A-B (2x)

C#C#
Oh, did you know, did you know
Did you know better
BB
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better
F#F#
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better
A augmentedA
Don't you know that

   BB      C#-F#-A-B  C#-F#-A-B
you shiver at the sight...
    C#C#     F#F#       A augmentedA    BB    C#-F#-A-B
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight

  C#C#     F#F#    A augmentedA  BB
If I were to write the song
      C#C#    F#F#     A augmentedA  BB
That could somehow change the world
     C#C#    F#F#
Would it be a calm surrender
   A augmentedA       BB
Or a fight to the death?
     C#C#        F#F#
Would it give something to live for
     A augmentedA       BB
Would we give our final breath?
     C#C#      F#F#
Would it be a roaring opera
    A augmentedA        BB
Or as sweet as a child's kiss?
     C#C#         F#F#
Would it sound like all the others
      A augmentedA     BB
