[Intro ]C#m E B F#m E B
C#m
In a world of uncertainty
E
The night sky told us all to be patient
B
But when the ground started shaking
A
I wondered for how long
C#m
There's a place that I'd rather be
There's a voice deep inside of me
E B
Saying the progress we are making
A
Is not progress at all
F#m C#m
Into a world of promises, whoa
F#m A B
Is where we let ourselves been led
C#m
We built the bridges
E B
We now sleep under
F#m
We frame the door ways
E B
But may not pass through
C#m
The very same roads
E B
That we now wander
F#m
The Ones you pass us by on
E
We paved with our bare hands
B A B
Paved with our bare hands
C#m
A black cloud hovers over me
E
Without all this guilt I feel naked
B
Something about the way it
A
Wraps it's arms around
C#m
White snow covers everything
An angel watches over me
E B
Praying, she asks me for a favor
A
Catch me if I fall
F#m C#m
A rush of blood straight to the head, whoa
F#m A B
I wonder what this could have been
C#m
We built the bridges
E B
We now sleep under
F#m
We frame the door ways
E B
But may not pass through
C#m
The very same roads
E B
That we now wander
F#m
The ones you pass us by on
E
We paved with our bare hands
B
Paved with our bare hands
A C#m A B A E B
A C#m
No I never meant to hurt you
A B
No I never meant to do you wrong
A E B
I stood waiting while the man said move along
C#m
We lay the tracks down
B
But now they rotted
F#m
Like a runaway train
E B
We brace for the crash
C#m
We were in love once
B
Have you forgotten?
F#m
Like a runaway train
E B
Bearing down upon a gap
C#m
We built the bridges (brace for the crash)
E B
(Built from their hypocrisy)
F#m
We built the bridges (brace for the crash)
E B
(Now we brace for the crash)
C#m
We built the bridges (brace for the crash)
E B
(Built from their hypocrisy)
F#m
We built the bridges (brace for the crash)
E B
And underneath the shadows we now love
