Put 'em up now
Yeah
Yo
This is not the end, this is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision
Won't you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
And though the words sound steady
Something empty's within 'em
We say, "Yeah"
With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear, yeah
Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control
Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go
I know what it takes to move on
(Oh) I know how it feels to lie
(Oh) all I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got
Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn't so
I know what it takes to move on
(Oh) I know how it feels to lie
(Oh) all I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got (yo, yo)
What was left when that fire was gone
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And tryna figure out what it's like moving on
And I don't even know what kind of things I've said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So, picking up the pieces now where to begin
The hardest part of ending is starting again
Oh, all I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got
This is not the end, this is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm (I'm holding onto what I haven't-)
And though the words sound steady, something empty's within 'em (got)
We say, "Yeah"
With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and fear (holding onto what I haven't-)
Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear (got)

E
Flying at the speed of light
                       Asus2
Thoughts were spinning in my head
                    C#m
So many things were left unsaid
                     Asus2 Bsus2
It's hard to let you go
 
[Chorus]
C#m                      Asus2
 I know what it takes to move on
C#m                     Asus2
 I know how it feels to lie
E                  Bsus2
 All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
C#m                          Asus2   E
 Holding on to what I haven't   got
 
[Verse 2]
E
Sitting in an empty room
             Asus2
Trying to forget the past
               C#m
This was never meant to last
                 Asus2 Bsus2
I wish it wasn't so
 
[Chorus]
C#m                      Asus2
 I know what it takes to move on
C#m                     Asus2
 I know how it feels to lie
E                  Bsus2
 All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
C#m                          Asus2   E
 Holding on to what I haven't   got
 
[Verse 3]
E5
What was left when that fire was gone
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
 
E5
And I don't even know what kind of things I said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So picking up those pieces now where to begin
The hardest part of ending is starting again
 
[Outro](play the chords hard from this point)
E5 E5 C#m  Bsus2
 
E5                  E5
 All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
C#m                        Bsus2  E5
 Holding on to what I haven't got
 
E5
This is not the end, this is not the beginning
E5
Just a voice like a riot, rocking every revision
        C#m
But you listen to the tone, and the violent rhythm               
(I'm holding on to what I haven't)
               Bsus2
And though the words sound steady, something empty's within 'em  
(got)
       E5
We say yeah, with fists flying up in the air
       E5
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
             C#m
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear        
(Holding on to what I haven't)
         Bsus2                                    E5
Until we dead it forget it, let it all disappear                 
(got)
