Played on a baritone ukelele, which is tuned to the same DGBe as the first four strings of a guitar.
[Intro]

[Verse 1]

here I am, just another shout into the dark
you would think we'd be loud enough to cause a spark
but half the world cover their ears and cry
e|-------------------------| B|-------3-----3-------3---| G|-----0-----0-----0---0---| D|---1-----1-----1-----5---|
so we're screaming at no one, screaming at no one
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------3-----3---------3-----3---------3-----3---------3-----3-------| G|-----0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---| x2 D|---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---3-----3-----3---2-----2-----2-----|
mmmmm
[Verse 2]

raise your arms, raise your voice, no one wants what we'll get
we're all scared here, with the future that's set
we will not stand still and watch it burn
e|-------------------------| B|-------3-----3-------3---| G|-----0-----0-----0---0---| D|---1-----1-----1-----5---|
but we're dancing for no one, dancing for no one
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------3-----3---------5-----5---------0-----0---------0-----0-------| G|-----3-----3-----3---5-----5-----5---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---| D|---3-----3-----3---5-----5-----5---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0-----|
the higher we build, the harder to see
paint over your strokes, and the ink will just bleed
e|-------------------------------------------------------| B|-------3-----3---------5-----5---------0-----0---------| G|-----3-----3-----3---5-----5-----5---0-----0-----0-----| D|---3-----3-----3---5-----5-----5---0-----0-----0---0---|
please open your mind, we sob from a screen
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------3-----3---------3-----3---------3-----3---------3-----3-------| G|-----0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---| x2 D|---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---3-----3-----3---2-----2-----2-----|
what do I do, what do we do, nothing we can do (x3)
[Verse 2]
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------3-----3---------3-----3---------3-----3---------3-----3-------| G|-----0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---| x3 D|---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---3-----3-----3---2-----2-----2-----|
tell me now, I am begging, tell me are we okay?
I will write, I will craft, watch me work through the pain
there's not much to do but smile too hard
e|-------------------------| B|-------3-----3-------3---| G|-----0-----0-----0---0---| D|---1-----1-----1-----5---|
but we're laughing with no one, laughing with no one
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------3-----3---------5-----5---------0-----0---------0-----0-------| G|-----3-----3-----3---5-----5-----5---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---| x2 D|---3-----3-----3---5-----5-----5---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0-----|
the higher we build, the harder to see
paint over your strokes, and the ink will just bleed
please open your mind, we sob from a screen, oh
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------3-----3---------5-----5---------0-----0---------0-----0-------| G|-----3-----3-----3---5-----5-----5---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---| D|---3-----3-----3---5-----5-----5---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0-----|
the higher we build, the harder to see
people only believe what they need to believe
e|-------------------------------------------------------| B|-------3-----3---------5-----5---------0-----0---------| G|-----3-----3-----3---5-----5-----5---0-----0-----0-----| D|---3-----3-----3---5-----5-----5---0-----0-----0---0---|
please open your mind, we sob from a screen

what do I do, what do we do, nothing we can do (x3)
there's nothing we can do, so
what do I do, what do we do, nothing we can do (x3)
(there must be something we can dooooo)
there's nothing we can do...
