Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

C# minorC#m BB
C# minorC#m BB

[Verse 1]

    C# minorC#m   BB
Settle down, be still
   C# minorC#m      BB
It is all a test of will
    C# minorC#m      BB         A augmentedA
We just need a little time to find some shelter,
  A augmentedA          C# minorC#m   BB
To hide a while in the story?s fine
      C# minorC#m         BB
You?ve got yours, well I?ve got mine
       C# minorC#m      BB
They?re just markers on the map to find
  A augmentedA         A augmentedA       E MajorE
The truth that?s lying in the middle

[Chorus 1]

       C# minorC#m
It?s easy to rage
       BB
It?s easy to blame
       A augmentedA           E MajorE
It?s easy to crumble and curse your name
         C# minorC#m
But I owe you my life
        BB
I?ll swallow my pride
           A augmentedA
?Cause I was the the architect of half of the ruin

[Interlude]

C# minorC#m BB

[Verse 2]

    C# minorC#m      BB
All the hurt and angry men
     C# minorC#m       BB
Play the victim till the end
   C# minorC#m      BB
Never easing their defenses
    A augmentedA        A augmentedA        E MajorE
Well I won?t be them, I won?t be bitter

[Chorus 2]

       C# minorC#m
It?s easy to rage
       BB
It?s easy to blame
       A augmentedA      A augmentedA     E MajorE
It?s easy to crumble and curse your name
         C# minorC#m
But I owe you my life
        BB
I?ll swallow my pride
    A augmentedA
?Cause part of me always knew just what I was doing
A augmentedA               E MajorE
Architect of half of the ruin

[Bridge]

     E MajorE          BB
I want to see this through my eyes
      BB      A augmentedA
A majorA year from now or maybe five
      A augmentedA       BB
A augmentedA shortcut forward to the day
      BB
It?s just a memory of change

[Solo]

E MajorE C# minorC#m BB A augmentedA
E MajorE C# minorC#m BB A augmentedA A majorA E MajorE

[Chorus 3]

       C# minorC#m
It?s easy to rage
       BB
It?s easy to blame
       A augmentedA           E MajorE
It?s easy to crumble and curse your name
         C# minorC#m
But I owe you my life
        BB
I?ll swallow my pride
    A augmentedA
?Cause part of me always knew just what I was doing
A augmentedA
Architect of half of the ruin
