[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Am]
[F][Am][F][Am]
[F][Am][F][Am][E]
[Am][F][D][Am]
[F][D]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Sleeping on a time bomb, stari[F]ng into spac[D]e
There's an [Am]ocean of unpleasantries we
are [F]not prepared to [C]face[G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Sitting on the fence post to
[F]watch the storm roll [D]in
And [Am]terrified of the damage it will
[F]bring when it be[C]gin[G]s[Am]
[C]It will be[G]gin

[Verse 3]
[Am]Splintered dreams of [G]unity
[D](our lives are paral[Am]lel)
So far from [G]reality [D](our lives
are [Am]parallel)
Independent tra[G]jectories
[D](our lives are [Am]par allel)
Separate terms of [G]equal[D] it[Am]y[E][F][E][Am]
[E](ou[F]r lives are[E] pa[Am]ralle[E]l)[F][E]

[Verse 4]
Our [Am]lives are [E]par[F]al [G]lel[Am]
[F][D][Am][F][D]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Is there
no
[F]redemption? no common [D]good?
Is there [Am]nothing we can do for ourselves?
[F]or only what we [C]should?[G]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Comes the hard admission of
[F]what we don't [D]provide
[Am]Goes the insistence on the [F]ways and
means that [C]so di[G]vide[Am]

[Verse 7]
[C]They so di[G]vide
[Am]Side by side suffering [G]loneli[D]ness
(our lives are [Am]parallel)
Phony collective [G]progress[D]
[Am](our lives are parallel)
Accepting that it's [G]all such a [D]mess
[Am](our lives are parallel)
Gesturing without [G]hope of re[D]dress
[Am](our lives [E]are par[F]allel)
[E]Our [F]lives

[Verse 8]
[Am]are par[E][F][E][Am]
[E]al [F]lel[E]
[Am][E][F][G]

[Verse 9]
[F]Forging little [G]plays of de[G#]ception and pain
[F]As we watch our [G]foundation
[G#]crumble away
[F]Staggering like [G]birds against a [G#]hurricane[Eb]
And [Bb]trying all the [F]while to stay [C]out of each [G]other's [Am]way[G]
[F][E]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][F][E][Am]
[G][F][E][Am][G][F][E]

[Verse 10]
[Am]Broken dreams of [G]unity [D](our lives
are [Am]parallel)
Independent tra[G]jectories [D](our lives
are par[Am]allel)
Screaming out for [G]understand[D]ing
(our lives are [Am]par allel)
Turning inward [G]an[D][Am][E][F][E][Am]
[E][F][E][Am][F][E][Am]
[E][F][E][Am][E][F]
[E]d[Am][E][F][E][Am][E]
[F]suf[E]fer[Am]ing [E](our[F] l[E]ives are parallel)
