C#m     A   B   x2

               C#m      A    B
Welcome home
          C#m     A     B
While away
                 C#m                        A    B
They have tampered with the locks
                E                     F#m
And your things they rearranged
       C#m       A    B
“We propose
              C#m    A     B
a better way.”
               C#m                 A        B
Said they note they left behind
              E             F#m
In their wake of disarray

                  A
You fell in place
                  B
Don’t fall asleep
                       C#m
They’ll find us here
               B                 A
I know a place to disappear
                        B
As a voice proclaimed

              C#m           E              A
What we are is the sum of a thousand lies
              C#m                    E                A
What we know is almost nothing at all
           C#m               E                    A
But we are what we are until the day we die
             B                                                    A
Or until we don’t have the strength to go on
      B                                                     A
Til' we don't have the strength to go on

C#m    A   B   x2

          C#m
Let us cry
          C#m
Let us be
          C#m
Let us open up our hearts
               E            F#m
Without fear of anything
         C#m
Faith alone
              C#m
Is all we need
       C#m
To traverse this burning bridge
         E                            F#m
Now before it gets too late

                        A
You said. “it’s fine”
                       B
But the heart reveals
                     C#m
What smiles betray
                     B                        A
Your sad sad eyes gave you away
                   B
Don’t you know

         C#m                E              A
What we are is the sum of a thousand lies
              C#m                    E               A
What we know is almost nothing at all
            C#m              E                   A
But we are what we are until the day we die
              B                                                    A
Or until we don’t have the strength to go on
     B                                                     A
Til' we don't have the strength to go on

B                     C#m                   A
Our shoulders bear an awful weight
But still we trudge on just the same
B                   C#m                      A
These colors run then leave a stain
They blacken our once honest name
B                        C#m            A
But how can we argue, tell me
Over the fury and the fire
B                                    C#m                A
How many times can we tell you that we
                                                   B
Are not like you, we see right through
                                                   A
Your poor disguise that fails to fool
                B                                  A
The wary eye that is trained on you

              C#m           E               A 
What we are is the sum of a thousand lies 
               C#m                    E              A 
What we know is almost nothing at all 
            C#m              E                    A 
But we are what we are until the day we die 
             B                                                    A 
Or until we don’t have the strength to go on 
      B                                                    A 
Til' we don't have the strength to go on 

(x2)

B
Yeah, we don't have the strength to go on
