[Intro]
N.C.
E5 E5add14
(Chords are played letting the strings E and B ring)
[Verse]
C#5 B5 E5
We'll never know who we are
A C#5 B5
It best wear some spin off of who we'd like to be
E5 A5
But there are ghosts in the attic that keep us aware
C#5 B5
But there's more to this than we can see
E5 A
you stare at yourself like a star
C#5 B5
that gets brighter when you fly in your dreams
E5 A5
What the mirror won't show you is the void that you feel
C#5 B5
is only as large as it seems
[Chorus]
A E5 B A E5 B
You feel better, you and I, we are gonna fade away together
A E5
Well this world is ours while we're in it
B
you grab a hold of my hand
B
and we can take it
A E5
together our lives are just one passing minute
B
it could be gold if we make it
B C#5 B5 E5 A
And I believe we can make it
C#5 B5 A
Ooh
[Verse]
C#5 B5 E5
And so you stand at the library walls
A E5
with the great minds of history
C#5 B5
all the beggars at your feet
B5 E5 A
You know the books are like the faces that you pass every day
C#5 B5
but you don't make the effort to meet
E5 A
you stare at yourself like a star
C#5 B5
that's been dying just to bring you in its light
E5 A5
but the less that you focus the more you can see
C#5 B5
we all shine the brightest in peripheral sight, yeah
[Chorus]
A E5 B A E5 B
You feel better, you and I, we are gonna fade away together
A E5
well, this world is ours while we're in it
B
You grab a hold of my hand
B
and we can take it
B A E5
together our lives are just one passing minute
B
it could be gold if we make it
[Verse]
A E5
So we're both out on our own islands
B5
But I could still see you, you're seeing me
A5 E5
through the prison bars of our own self expectations
B5
that were built by the ones who tell us who we're supposed to be and feel
[Chorus]
A E5 B A E5 B
feel better, you and I, are gonna fade away together
A E
This world is ours while we're in it
B
You grab a hold of my hand
B
and we can take it
B A E5
together our lives are just one passing minute
B
it could be gold if we make it
B
I believe we can make it to
A E5 B A E5 B
feel better, you and I, are gonna fade away together
A E5 B A E5 B
feel we are gonna fade away together
B A
ooh
