Am C
your stitches are all out
D
but your scars are healing wrong
Am C D
the helium balloon inside your room has come undone
C G
and it's pushing up at the ceiling
Am E7 F Dm F Dm
and the flickering lights it cannot get beyond
everyone takes turns
now it's yours to play the part
and they're sitting all around you
holding copies of your chart
and the misery inside their eyes is
synchronized and reflecting it to yours
C E7
hold on
Am Am/G F
one more time with feeling
C E7 Am Am/G F
try it again, breathing's just a rhythm
C E7 Am Am/G F
say it in your mind until you know that the words are right
F Dm F Dm
this is why we fight
C Em F
doo doo dooo doo....
C, Em, F, D, G, G/F# G/F G/E
you thought by now you'd be
so much better than you are
you thought by now they'd see
that you have come so far
and the pride inside their eyes
is synchronized into a love you'll never know
so much more than you can show
hold on
one more time with feeling
try it again, breathing's just a rhythm
say it in your mind, until you know that the
words are right
C E7 Am
this is why we fight
this is why we fight
