Intro

G♯m F♯

Verse 1

G♯mThis is our true alarm. This is reality.

F♯We will do what we can.

G♯mWe are just figurines with a theology

F♯that we don’t understand.

Pre-chorus

D♯mWe can’t forget the

Bbeginning, when He

C♯set our broken wings.

Chorus

D♯mGod, how much does it

Btake for us to be

F♯loved? For us to be

C♯saved? We all are

D♯mbirds stuck inside our

Bcage, covered up with

F♯praise. And behind our

C♯saints we hide our

D♯mface. Oh, the numbers

Bcome. Yeah, they’re dialing

F♯in. We can’t

G♯mhelp but to comp-

C♯are ourselves again.

Break

G♯m F♯

Verse 2

G♯mI can’t believe in this—this blue-lipped, lifeless kiss.

F♯And we can’t see past our thrones.

G♯mWe fight for life within, but our walls are wearing thin.

F♯Oh God, where have we gone?

Pre-chorus

D♯mWhen I’m just one fighting in-

Bdifference, does it

C♯mmatter what I say?

Chorus

D♯mGod, how much does it

Btake for us to be

F♯loved? For us to be

C♯saved? We all are

D♯mbirds stuck inside our

Bcage, covered up with

F♯praise. And behind our

C♯saints we hide our

D♯mface. Oh, the numbers

Bcome. Yeah, they’re dialing

F♯in. We can’t

G♯mhelp but to comp-

C♯are ourselves again.
