Chords with lyrics
SIREN:
DbDb
You've been told all your life
BbmBbm
You don't look like a hero
DbDb
You believed it and now
BbmBbm
You're at absolute zero
DbDb
You make music alone
BbmBbm
'cause you don't feel pretty
DbDb
And you're doing too little
BbmBbm
In too big a city
GbGb BbmBbm
Oh, woah
GbGb BbmBbm
Oh, woah
DbDb
You've been waiting for years
BbmBbm
For your world to start moving
DbDb
You've been waiting for years
BbmBbm
But your life's not improving
DbDb
And I'm not trying to deal you
BbmBbm
Empathy or pity
SIREN, TREVOR:
DbDb
I'm just doing too little
BbmBbm
In too big a city
CARY, SIREN, TREVOR:
GbGb BbmBbm
Oh, oh
GbGb BbmBbm
Oh, oh
TREVOR:
DbDb
I've resigned to living a life
BbmBbm
Without glory
DbDb
I've resigned to living like
BbmBbm
That’s not my story
DbDb
I've been waiting for change
BbmBbm
To drop out of the sky
DbDb
I've been squeezing the meaning
Out of one simple word –
CARY, SIREN, TREVOR:
BbmBbm
Try!
SIREN, TREVOR:
GbGb
And I'm making a list
BbmBbm BbM7Bbm7
Of the things that I'm proud of
GbGb
And I'm making a list
BbmBbm BbM7Bbm7
Of the people that I love
GbGb
And I'm setting my limits
BbmBbm BbM7Bbm7
Impossibly high
TREVOR:
GbGb
'Cause my life is gonna be
BbmBbm
A augmentedA myth to live by
(pluck only the A augmentedA string during this bit)
SIREN:
DbDb
You think that I need you
BbmBbm
More than you need me
DbDb
Well there's no way that
BbmBbm
I'm gonna give up so easy
DbDb
'Cause I've waited too long
BbmBbm
For my future to slip by
DbDb
And my life is gonna be
A augmentedA myth to live by
