[Intro]
G#m
G#m E F# C#m
G#m E F# C#m
[Verse]
G#m
If everything that we love
E
will burn down
F#
then should we love no one and
C#m B A#m G#m
nothing? If all that we build
E
falls down
F# C#m
then I will dig the deepest hole, dig down, down
[Pre-Chorus]
E9 G#m F#
All the things we don't say might mean something
F# G#m
Somewhere to someone
E9 G#m F# E F#
But nothing here is ever good enough
[Chorus]
G#m G#sus4 B Bmaj7 B
So we close our eyes and wait for something better
F# F#sus4 F# C#sus4 C#m
Not knowing what we're even waiting for
G#m G#sus4 B Bmaj7 B
With our hands cupped to the sky we wait forever
F# F#sus4
Sacrificing light we're given
C#m E F# G#m
Never knowing what we're living for
G#m
[Verse]
G#m
Can I have your attention, please
E
I've played the game, you see
F#
To make all these ends meet
C#m B A#m
But it's not enough
G#m
The fabric we all share
E
All starts to rip and tear
F#
We're sending thoughts and prayers
C#m B A#m
But they're not enough
[Pre-Chorus]
E9 G#m F#
Words without action equal nothing
F# G#m
They'll say where we're gone
E9 G#m F#
We've heard your excuses all before
E F#
And this is what they sound like
[Chorus]
G#m G#sus4 B Bmaj7 B
So we close our eyes and wait for something better
F# F#sus4 F# C#sus4 C#m
Not knowing what we're even waiting for
G#m G#sus4 B Bmaj7 B
With our hands cupped to the sky we wait forever
F# F#sus4
Sacrificing light we're given
C#m D#m E
Never knowing what we're living for
F#
We're living for
C#m
We're living for
[Breakdown]
E F#
And this is what it sounds like
G#m
(This is what it sounds like)
Emaj7 G#m11/F# C#7sus2 G#m11/F#
[Quiet Chorus]
G#m B B6 B
So don't close your eyes, don't wait for something better
F#6 C#m6 C#m
Know exactly what it is you're waiting for
[Final Chorus]
G#m G#sus4 B Bmaj7 B
Put your empty hands away, don't wait forever
F# F#sus4
And don't sacrifice the light you're given
C#m E F#m E9
Know exactly what you're living for
