[Intro 1]
[Em][F#m][D][C][Em][Esus4][Em][C]
[Em][C][G][D][Em][C][D]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
Let the [Am]fire burn a [C]hole through [Em]everything
Leave [Am]only unidenti[C]fiable re[Em]mains[D]
Let the wa[Am]ter breach the l[C]evee,
let [Em]every well run dry
While the cup[Am]boards all are emp[C]tied,
we were [Em]told to wait out[D]side
And we [C]closed

[Verse 2]
our eye[Bm]s
And ran [D]these [Em]red lights
Out of [C]ideas, out of op[Bm]tions,
out [D]of answers
Out of [G]road and [D]out of [Em]time

[Verse 3]
[Esus4]
[Em]Is there nothin' that can
save us [Esus4]now?
[Em]Is there nothi[C]n' that
[Em]can save u[C]s [Em]now?
We all [C]will run,

[Verse 4]
we all [G]will hide
But this is [D]not the [Em]answer
Our mouth[C]s shut, our hands [D]tied
But this is not the answer [Em]now

[Verse 5]
[Em]
But [C]I can't t[Am]ell you that it's
[C]gonna be [Em]okay
And [Am]anybody [C]else that does is lying[Em]
to your [D]face [A](tell me)
[Am]Do your bones [C]ache like [Em]mine? (Tell me,
tell me, tell me)
Did we [Am]lock [C]ourselves out[Em]side?

[Verse 6]
[D]But the[C]se roads can still be bui[Bm]lt
And these [D]wrongs can be un[Em]done
We no [C]longer can sit [Bm]still
While there's [D]a war outside
that's [G]waiting to be [Em]won

[Verse 7]
[D]
Is [C]there nothin' that can
save us [Em]now?[D]
Is [C]there nothin' that [Am]can
[G]save [Em]us now?
We all [C]will run,

[Verse 8]
we all will [G]hide
But this is [D]not the [Em]answer
Our mouth[C]s shut, our hands [D]tied
But this is not the [G]an [D]swe[Em]r[G][D][G]
[Em]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Bm][Em][D][C][Em][C][G][D][Em]

[Verse 9]
It's [Em]only getting [Bm]darker
So dark that we can't
even [C]see
The tourniquet is tied [G]off
But [D]we've only begun to [Em]bleed
And everybody's tired
Of fightin' for a space [C]to sleep
[Em]The tide is getting higher
But [D]we've only [Em]be gu[E]n[Em][D]
[Em]to[C][D][Em][D][Em][C][Em]
[D]bleed
Is there [C]nothin'

[Verse 10]
that can
save us [Em]now?[D]
Is [C]there nothin' that can save
[Em]us now?
(Our mouths shut, [D]our hands tied)
Is [C]there nothin' that can save
us [Em]now?
(Our mouths shut, our [D]hands tied)
Is [C]there nothin' that can save?
Is there [D]nothin' that can
[G]save [D]us [Em]now?
