Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
E minorEm      A augmentedA       B minorBm
When we were younger we saw God's face in our fathers
     E minorEm       A augmentedA         D MajorD
Now that all our heroes died, we're all alone


Verse 1:
D MajorD
Where to begin, the lights are fading
A augmentedA
Songs are played out, legs are shaking
E minorEm                  G+G
Tired hands they reach for something more than they can see
      D MajorD
But waking up is hard to do
        A augmentedA
When you've got nothing left to lose
        E minorEm
And you've got nothing left to choose
      G+G
Except for cigarettes and booze, they tell you

Chorus:
 E minorEm              A augmentedA
"Don't rely on other people's eyes to see your life"
        B minorBm
But we're still trying to break mirrors inside this
G+G
Fun house of denial and wondering
E minorEm              A augmentedA
Where do we go next, do we go next

D MajorD C majorC D MajorD

Hook:
G+G      A augmentedA
La da da da da da da da

D MajorD      B minorBm

Verse 2:
D MajorD
Where to begin, the stakes are raising
A augmentedA
Crowd's drawing close, my body's shaking
E minorEm
Tired hands they reach for something
G+G                  D MajorD
I've never been so sure that I can't do this anymore
     A augmentedA              E minorEm
I forget what we do it for I guess I get a little bored
        G+G
With trying to spill my heart out on four chords


Chorus:
 E minorEm              A augmentedA
I don't rely on other people's eyes to see my life
       B minorBm
But I'm still trying to break mirrors inside this
G+G
Fucking fun house of denial and wondering
E minorEm              A augmentedA
Where do we go next, do we go next

D MajorD
B minorBm E minorEm

Bridge:
E minorEm             A augmentedA
It's not that I'm not happy with where I'm at
           A augmentedA
I just thought I'd be more than this
            D MajorD
All these things on my bucket list, thought I'd be linguist
    C majorC
But if I die right now what'll be left of me?
    C majorC
So I'm stuck here writing my own eulogy
       C majorC
But if it was you and me I could find some peace
       C majorC
And the fact overreaction is just a way out of this for me


Hook:
G+G      A augmentedA
La da da da da da da da
D MajorD      B minorBm
La da da da da da da da
G+G      A augmentedA
La da da da da da da da
D MajorD      B minorBm
La da da da da da da da
