Dm                                      Am
Don't you come to me with all your color-coded quotes

E7                              Am
Everybody's laughing but they never ever get my jokes

Dm               Am
Fool, you're a tool, a sheep

E7                              Am
And it's obvious to everyone but company you keep
Am Dm E7 Am E7 Am
Dm                                      Am
And don't you squint at me because your childhood was the pits

E7                              Am
Every single one of us have trodden through our shit

Dm      Am
Oh, and I know you're shrewd

E7                              Am
'Cause I smell it in your clothes and it's in everything you do

Dm              Am
Falling, fallen, we all fall down

E7                      Am
It only really matters how we stand our ground

F                       Am
If and when we rise to our feet again

E7              Am  E7  Am
We'll be on our own
(Repeat Intro) [Verse 2]
Dm                              Am
Everything we built is gone and everyone around is stunned

E7                                      Am
We just sit here staring blankly and everything goes numb

Dm      Am
Lord, if I felt a thing

E7                                      A
I could wrap my mind around this and prevent us getting singed
Am Dm E7 Am E7 Am
Dm                              Am
And please excuse my enemies, I think they do not know

E7                              Am
I will gladly self-destruct if they leave me alone

Dm              Am
Friend, that's the end of us

E7                              Am
Because you're way behind in empathy and overdue on trust

Dm              Am
Calmly, calmly and patiently

E7                              Am
We've seen all the evidence but still cannot believe

F                       Am
If and when we rise to our feet again

We'll be on our own

Dm                      Am
Somehow, some way we persevere

E7                              Am
The questions on our lips fall on deafened ears

F                               Am
And if and when we rise to our feet again

E7              Am  E7  Am
We'll be on our own
