Key: C
Introduction:
C#
Ring the verse, let it in, said softly begin
B
If it feels like the first time, don't let it end
F# A B
Cause it wanders by like something that could have been
C# B
If I were to write the song that could penetrate your ears
F#
Would it calm your trembling soul
A B
Would it ease your every fear
Ebm F#
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
Ebm A
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
B C#
And you shiver at the sight...
C# F# A B C#
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
C#
Could one song solve all our problems
B
Could it have the strength to heal
F#
Or would it cripple and destroy
A B
And leave nothing unrevealed
C#
Might it uproot every lie
B
And force us all to cower
F#
Beneath its tremendous weight
A B
In the wake of all its power
Ebm F#
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
Ebm A
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
B C#
And you shiver at the sight...
C# F# A B C#
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
C#
Oh, did you know, did you know
Did you know better
B
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better
F#
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better
A
Don't you know that
B C#
you shiver at the sight...
C# F# A B C#
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
C# F# A B
If I were to write the song
C# F# A B
That could somehow change the world
C# F#
Would it be a calm surrender
A B
Or a fight to the death?
C# F#
Would it give something to live for
A B
Would we give our final breath?
C# F#
Would it be a roaring opera
A B
Or as sweet as a child's kiss?
C# F#
Would it sound like all the others
A B
Or would it sound something like this
