[Intro]
Dm C/E F Gm
Dm C/E F Gm
[Verse 1]
Dm C G/B
When the world around us keeps on firing
Dm C/E G
But the strength to take it in is lost
Dm C G/B
And the face we show, keeps us in hiding
Dm C/E F G/D
‘Cause the truth inside’s too hard to show
Bb
On and on and on…
[Verse 2]
Dm C G/B
And the world around us keeps on shouting
Dm C/E G
But the will to hear its cry is lost
Dm C G/B
With our inner storm we reap the silence
Dm C/E F Bb
‘Cause the scream inside would get you crushed
[Chorus]
Dm C F Gm
Too many days behind the calm, in this deafening silence
Dm C Gm Bb
In our heads the rage goes on and on and on, an unheard violence
Dm C/E F Gm
Let lightning strike, set all ablaze, crash into brighter days
Dm C Gm Bb
Too many times behind the calm but on and on we go
[Post-Chorus]
Dm C/E F Gm
Dm C/E F Gm
Dm C/E F Gm
Dm C/E F Gm
[Verse 3]
Dm C G/B
And the world around us keeps on burning
Dm C/E G
But the weight to stand our ground is lost
Dm C G/B
Ooh, it’s the gentle hearts that lose the fighting
Dm C/E F Bb
’Cause the seeing ones diverse at cost
[Chorus]

Too many days behind the calm, in this deafening silence
Dm C Gm Bb
In our heads the rage goes on and on and on, an unheard violence

Let lightning strike, set all ablaze, crash into brighter days
Dm C Gm Bb
Too many times behind the calm but on and on we go

And on and on we go (like a stranger in our own lives)

And on and on we go (ride a constant wave)

And on and on we go (born to deviate)

And on and on and on and on and on and on we go!
[Chorus]
Dm C F
Too many days behind the calm...
Dm C Gm Bb
In our heads the rage goes on and on and on, an unheard violence

Too many times behind the calm but on and on we go
[Post-Chorus]
