I am outside and I've been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry... with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this.
And keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me.
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence and all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
We just wanna be whole.
Lock the doors, I'd like to capture this voice
That came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights, I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war... we live like this.
So, keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence and all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
We just wanna be whole.
Tower over me
Tower over me
And I’ll take the truth at any cost
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence and all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
We just wanna be whole.

I was really surprised there were no decent tabs for this song;
and it's always been one of my favorites, so I went ahead and tabbed it.
I'm no good at writing out strumming patterns,
I wish people would stop e-mailing asking me to do so.
What I do know is, you should emphasize these notes during the verses;
whether you hit that string individually then strum the chord,
or just strum and hit it a bit louder. (You don't have to though!)
