EmD
Why does it take a tragedy to make
AmC
Our true colors come out?
Em
We only feel the life in our limbs
D
And a heartbeat beneath the skin
AmC
When time is runnin' out
[Pre-Chorus]
G
But there's love in pain
Em
And comfort in
DCD
Suffering, feels familiar and
CG
Just like a stranger's touch
Em
We've yet to trust
DC
Reaching out to feel
DC
Something real before we turn to dust
[Chorus]
EmGAmC
Every human has a billion heartbeats
EmG
So why do we lie and cheat 'till we're old?
AmC
And time is up on Earth?
EmGAmC
Every human has a billion heartbeats
AmG
So why do we only speak
AmCC
In the cold silence between our words?
[Verse 2]
EmD
Trapped halfway between wanting to be brave
AmCC
And feeling scared, we'll only stand and stare
Am
What difference will it make picking up the pieces
DAmCC
As another lonely heart breaks, but don't despair
[Pre-Chorus]
G
'Cause there's love in pain
Em
And comfort in
DCD
Suffering, feels familiar and
CG
Just like a stranger's touch
Em
We've yet to trust
DC
Reaching out to feel
DC
Something real before we turn to dust
[Chorus]
