[Verse 1]
             CWhen we were young we knew everything strength from our innocence

Taught us to paint with our words
           Am                  GAs we grow tired and jaded the colors are faded
FFire will no longer burn
           CAll of the anger and hunger that shapes our desires

Hanging to hope by a string
          Am                          GNever had thoughts of the future knew we'd never get there
FWe are the kings of our dreams


[Pre-Chorus]
Am                GAll the best laid plans
        FSlipped through my hands


[Chorus]
                CYou know we can run 'til the day that we're dead
                 Em                        FOr stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared
Am               G                 FCan we make it back to the heroes we were?
              C'Cause we can scream 'til the world has gone deaf
            Em                          FFall on our knees if that's all we've got left
Am               G                 FCan we make it back to the heroes we were?


[Post-Chorus]
C         C   Can we   save this
Am              Am          G         F   And bring us back to the heroes we were?
       FCan we   save this
G               Am          C/B       C   And bring us back to the heroes we were?


[Verse 2]
CEmpires have fallen and joy can be stolen

When things are much worse than you think (Worse than you think)
    Am                         GThe streets are left broken, a memory holding
FOnto the songs that we sing
   CWe started with something but ended with nothing

Losing but praying to win (Praying to win)
    Am                    GLet go as we're falling I can't hear them calling
FGive in to all of our sins


[Pre-Chorus]
Am                GAll the best laid plans
        FSlipped through my hands


[Chorus]
                CYou know we can run 'til the day that we're dead
                 Em                        FOr stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared
Am               G                 FCan we make it back to the heroes we were?
              C'Cause we can scream 'til the world has gone deaf
            Em                          FFall on our knees if that's all we've got left
Am               G                 FCan we make it back to the heroes we were?


[Post-Chorus]
C         C   Can we   save this

       FCan we   save this
G               Am          C/B       F   And bring us back to the heroes we were?


[Bridge]

When the future's ending
G   They will bleed you empty
Am                 C/BDon't let me down, don't let me down
CDon't let me down
F  Yeah, we can make it back there
G   The home we had is nowhere
Am              C/BTurn it around, turn it around
C          FTurn it around


[Verse 3]
CNo one can find us when time has escaped us

How did we fall through the cracks?
     Am                       GIt's empty out here where the world disappears
FOne day we'll find our way back


[Chorus]
                CYou know we can run 'til the day that we're dead
                 Em                        FOr stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared
Am               G                 FCan we make it back to the heroes we were?
              C'Cause we can scream 'til the world has gone deaf
            Em                          FFall on our knees if that's all we've got left
Am               G                 FCan we make it back to the heroes we were?
