[Instrumental] E B [Verse 1] [MATT]
        E
Do you know?

         B                      E                  B
Well of course you do what it's like to stand outside

   A                                    F#m
To watch the world and wish you didn't hurt so much you cried?

   E                B              E                B
I know I'm not the only one and I know I shouldn't care

    A                                   F#m
But when I feel these things are real I wish I felt you there!

D                                 B             Bsus4  B
And if I did I'd ask you how come life is so unfair!
[Verse 2] [PETER]
        E
Do you know?

         B                        E              B
Well of course you do, what it's like to be afraid

      A                               F#m
That nothing will become of all the plans that you have made?

     E                  B                E                 B
So I watch the girls surround him and he says 'It's just a game!'

   A                               F#m
I guess that I believe him, but it hurts me just the same!

        D                            B
And I'm all about this stupid act so who am I to blame?
Bsus4 B [Chorus 1] [MATT & PETER]
        F#m             E              B             C#m
Are you there? Are you there? Do you watch me when I cry?

   F#m              E             B
And if it's in your power how can you sit idly by?

  C#m               B               A
I try so hard to please you but you never seem to see!
[MATT]
  F#m             E
Is it my fate to sit an wait?
[PETER]
       B                  C#
Wonder what my struggle means
[MATT]
   D                A                  Bsus4       B
I wish I knew that someone out there cared
[PETER] Are you there? [MATT & PETER]
           E
Cared for me
[DIALOGUE INSTRUMENTAL] B E x 3 B (single strum) [Verse 3] [MATT]
                 E
Here, have some wine
[PETER]
         B
This is holy wine
[MATT]
        E                 B
Father hasn't blessed it yet
[PETER]
    A
In that case...
[MATT] Grab a chalice [PETER] Thanks
      F#m
Life sucks...
[MATT] Here, have the rest
    E
So why'd you leave?
[PETER]
     B
The party?
[MATT] Yeah [PETER]
         E              B
I was getting kind of bored
[MATT] Me too [PETER]
 A
There's another reason...
[MATT] Yeah? [PETER]
    F#m
It sucks to be ignored
[MATT] I know
    D
I always fight to do what's right

     B             Bsus4        B
And this is my reward...
[PETER] This is my reward [Chorus 2] [MATT & PETER]
        F#m             E              B               C#m
Are you there? Are you there? Can you make some time for me?

     F#m                  E                   B
They tell me that you're out there, and they tell me that you see

  C#m               B                 A
I try to find the meaning, God, you know how hard I've tried

      F#m                   E           B               C#
But I don't know where I'm going, and I don't have any guide
[MATT]
      D                    A            Bsus4 B          F#m
They said things would get better, but I guess they lied
[PETER]
         E         B                C#m
Are you there? He needs to give me more
[MATT, spoken] I'll drink to that
    F#m               E                         B
Who cares what people think? We're fine! We've been through this before

  C#m              B               A
One day he'll wake up, and realize all he needs is me

   F#m             E              B             C#
Until then, God, I wish I knew, I need a guarantee
[MATT]
   D               A                Bsus4 B
I need to know for sure that you'll be there
[PETER]
 D             A                Bsus4 B
Send a sign so that I know you're there
[MATT & PETER]
           E
There for me
