[Intro] Prog 1 x2 then B then Prog 2 into the verse [Verse 1]
Em                                                                  Dsus2
Smash glass against the wall, curse the music on the radio that the neighbours play

Em                                                               Dsus2
Door slams, she turns her head, watches through the window as he pulls away

Fmaj7b5
Funny how your racing brain drives you so mad

Asus2
When all the while you feel so numb

Fmaj7b5
Too old to be clean far too young to be broken

Asus2           B
Like an army we come
[Verse 2]
Em                                                          Dsus2
Cut back, left behind, I watched you self-destructing oh so many times

Em                                                                  Dsus2
Shot down, once again, sitting in a chair crying what am I going to do with my life?

Fmaj7b5
Just learn to hide the way that you really feel

Asus2
Never let them know that you're scared

Fmaj7b5
But understand that you're not the special only one

Asus2                  B
Watch us now, watch us real close
[Chorus]
           Em              D                G           Am
How we all dance with this fire 'cause it's all that we know

           Em              D                 G               Am
And as the spotlight turns toward us, we all try our best to show

       Em          D              G                Am
We are lost we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak

           CM7                    Asus2             Bsus   Bsus/C  Bsus
We are the heirs, we are the true heirs, to all the world
[Inerlude] G Asus2 Bm Asus2 x4 [Verse 3]
Em                                                               Dsus2
Let's go build a fire down on the empty beach where the waves are crashing high

Em                                               Dsus2
White heat purify, as the sparks fly up into the great black sky

Fmaj7b5
Sacrifice these crutches to the crackling flames

Asus2
Stand as silhouettes against the dawn

Fmaj7b5
It's far too late to try to sleep now,

Asus2                     B
Seems I'm never tired any more
[Chorus]
          Em              D                G          Am
I want to dance with this fire 'cause it's all that I know

           Em              D                 G               Am
And as the spotlight turns toward me, I just try my best to show

       Em          D              G                Am
We are lost we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak

           C                 B
We are the heirs, to all the world

          Em              D                G           Am
Oh how we dance with this fire 'cause it's all that we know

           Em              D                 G               Am
And as the spotlight turns toward us, we all try our best to show

       Em          D              G                Am
We are lost we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak

       Em          D              G                Am
We are lost we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak

       Em         D              G                Am
We are lost ..... freaks, and we try our best to show

       Em          D              G                Am
...... lost ...... freaks, .......crippled, we are weak

      Em          D              G                Am
..... lost .....  freaks, and we try our best to show

      Em          D              G                Am
......lost ...... freaks, .....
