version 2
Intro: Em D Em D
Em D
When the dark flood came
Em D
we wrapped ourselves inside a dirty blanket citing
C D Em D
different opinions on whether we should move
Em D
when the houses came
Em D
they ate up everyone like they were fishes saying,
C D
"come on, come on its the end of the world
Em D
and then I saw your face
Em D
you're turning skin into a dirty secret I watched the
C D
beauties, watched the fire and the fire burn the beauty in their
Em D
eyes
Em D
when I took the blame
Em D
we layed in ruins trying to quote your phrase we're yelling,
C D
"someone's got the answers, but I'd rather think there's nothing to be
Em D
found"
C D Em
if you knew I was dying would it change you?
C D Em
If you knew I was dying would it change?
C D Em
if you knew I was dying would it change you?
C D Em
If you knew I was dying would it change Anything?
C D
So when you see me falling backwards down the wall that says I'm still alive,
Em D
C D
don't be cautious when I'm cautiously approaching on the other side
Em D
C D Em D
everybody has their reasons, that's the reason we're all going to die
C D
because if seeing is believing, then believe that we have lost our eyes
C D Em D
C D Em D
when I fly solo, I fly so high (X4)
D
don't touch me now.
C D Em D
C D Em
We all deserve We all deserve something
