Chords

[Verse 1]
Dm                     A
Calm the fire, do not fight anymore

             C
They don’t know what they’re saying,

                G
they don’t know anything at all

    Bb                       Dm
For all that matters is you know that

                   E E7 A
this is not their fault

Dm                        A
All the places we should never go

C
Lost between the cracks something

G
wicked waits below

    Bb                       Dm
And all I’m saying there are some

                             E E7 A
things better left unseen at all
Dm Bb G D x2 [Verse 2]
Dm                             Bb
It’s been so long it’s tearing me apart

   G                          D
I cannot understand or comprehend

               Dm               Bb
Where we went wrong. Now we’ve come so far

     G
The madness in our hearts will never

D
end
[Pre-Chorus 1]
            G
Cause I’ve seen it all

                 Dm
I can’t fight it anymore

                   C
If I had burned forevermore

                          A
Is there nothing left to save?
[Chorus]
      Dm            Bb            G
Cause now more than ever what we need

    Dm         Bb              G
Is love to replace all the obscene

           Dm                  Bb
Something good and something beautiful,

   G
if only we could see

     Dm            Bb            G
That now more than ever what we need

             Dm    Bb    G     D
Is a little love
Dm Bb G D [Verse 3]
             Dm           Bb
Is there no more have we gone too far?

         G
There’s nothing I can do to make you

  D
sway

             Dm             Bb
To see the blood running through our hearts

    G
No different from the blood we’ve come

    D
to hate
[Pre-Chorus 2]
        G
When I close my eyes

                     Dm
I dream that we are colorblind

                      C
And now you know you can’t deny

                    A
Only ignorance to blame
[Chorus]
      Dm            Bb            G
Cause now more than ever what we need

    Dm         Bb              G
Is love to replace all the obscene

           Dm                  Bb
Something good and something beautiful,

   G
if only we could see

     Dm            Bb            G
That now more than ever what we need

             Dm    Bb    G     D
Is a little love
Dm A C G x2 [Bridge]
 Dm         A
Now let it calm the fire

      C                 G
That burns within your heart tonight

     Dm            A
For some are too blind to see

     C             G
The world as it’s meant to be
[Pre-Chorus 2]
        G
When I close my eyes

                     Dm
I dream that we are colorblind

                      C
And now you know you can’t deny

                    A
Only ignorance to blame
[Chorus]
      Dm            Bb            G

Something good and something beautiful,

   G
if only we could see

That now more than ever what we need
