                 F#5
We stared at the sun

    G#5
too long

          B5/F#             G#5
Until the shapes before our eyes

                F#5  G#5
Turned into the sun

       E5
in our eyes

              F#5
We lied to ourselves

     G#5
for awhile

B5/F#        G#5
In our usual style

                F#5
I wish we could lie

G#5           E5
to ourselves again

               F#5
We made up our minds

   G#5
To lose

    B5/F#             G#5
and never once looked back

               F#5  G#5
We only looked back,

     E5
just once

              F#5
We opened our hearts,

     G#5
it's true

    B5/F#         G#5
But not to any of you

                F#5  G#5
Sold out of the myth

    E5
too son

    F#5
And we

G#5
tried,

   B5/F#              G#5
we tried with all our might

F#5
We

G#5
tore

              E5
the playhouse down

F#5
We

G#5
ran

B5/F#           G#5 F#5
headlong in our way

G#5             E5
We tried so hard

                 F#5
We stared at the road

 G#5
ahead

B5/F#               G#5
Closed our eyes and then

               F#5  G#5
Sped up to the turn

           E5
around the bend

                F#5
With nothing to lose,

   G#5
we lost

B5/F#          G#5
Suffered every cost

                F#5  G#5
It still causes pain

     E5
to recall

    F#5
And we

G#5
tried,

   B5/F#              G#5
we tried with all our might

F#5
We

G#5
tore

              E5
the playhouse down

F#5
We

G#5
ran

B5/F#           G#5 F#5
headlong in our way

 G#5            E5
We tried so hard
[Solo] E5 F#5 G#5 B5/F# G#5 F#5 G#5 E5 x4
    F#5
And we

G#5
tried,

   B5/F#              G#5
we tried with all our might

F#5
We

G#5
tore

              E5
the playhouse down

F#5
We

G#5
ran

B5/F#           G#5 F#5
headlong in our way

 G#5            E5
We tried so hard

    F#5
And we

G#5
tried,

   B5/F#              G#5   F#5
we tried with all our might

   G#5                E5
We tore the playhouse down

F#5
We

G#5
ran

B5/F#           G#5 F#5
headlong in our way

 G#5            E5
We tried so hard

               F#5
Refused to let go

       G#5
of the air

B5/F#               G#5
There was something there

                  F#5  G#5
Sparks flown with gold

          E5
A million strong

                F#5
We ran four red lights

     G#5
in a row

    B5/F#                  G#5
I'm still flushed from the glow

                F#5  G#5
I'm down on the road

     E5
back home

                 F#5
We stared at the sun

    G#5
too long

          B5/F#             G#5
Until the shapes before our eyes

                     F#5
Turned back into the sun,

         G#5         E5
into the sun in our eyes

              F#5
We lied to ourselves

     G#5
for awhile

B5/F#        G#5
In our usual style

                    F#5
Now I wish we could ride

G#5                         E5
We wish we could lie to ourselves again

       F#5
And we tried,

   G#5
we tried,

   B5/F#              G#5
we tried with all our might

F#5
We

G#5
tore

              E5
the playhouse down

F#5            G#5
We ran headlong,

B5/F#              G#5 F#5
headlong in our way…

  G#5              E5 F#5
We tried so hard…

  G#5            B5/F# G#5 F#5
We tried so hard…

    G#5              E5
Yeah we tried so hard…
