Intro: Abm F#
Verse 1:
Abm
This is our true alarm. This is reality.
F#
We will do what we can.
Abm
We are just figurines with a theology
F#
that we don’t understand.
Pre-Chorus:
Ebm
We can’t forget the
B
beginning, when He
C#
set our broken wings.
Ebm
God, how much does it
B
take for us to be
F#
loved? For us to be
C#
saved? We all are
Ebm
birds stuck inside our
B
cage, covered up with
F#
praise. And behind our
C#
saints we hide our
Ebm
face. Oh, the numbers
B
come. Yeah, they’re dialing
F#
in. We can’t
G#m
help but to comp-
C#
are ourselves again.
Break: Abm F#
Verse 2:
Abm
I can’t believe in this—this blue-lipped, lifeless kiss.
F#
And we can’t see past our thrones.
Abm
We fight for life within, but our walls are wearing thin.
F#
Oh God, where have we gone?
Pre-Chorus:
Ebm
When I’m just one fighting in-
B
difference, does it
C#m
matter what I say?
Ebm
God, how much does it
B
take for us to be
F#
loved? For us to be
C#
saved? We all are
Ebm
birds stuck inside our
B
cage, covered up with
F#
praise. And behind our
C#
saints we hide our
Ebm
face. Oh, the numbers
B
come. Yeah, they’re dialing
F#
in. We can’t
G#m
help but to comp-
C#
are ourselves again.
Outro: Abm F# Abm F#
Abm
It’s not that there were ever bad
F#
intentions— it’s
Abm
more that we forgot where to call
F#
home. From im-
Abm
portant things that we don’t know to
F#
mention, it’s the
Abm
uniform that we put on—the
F#
formula we have for
