Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

 Are we growing up? Or just going down,

 it's just a matter of time until we're all found out.

 Take our tears, put them on ice,

'cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light.

Verse 1

 We're the therapists, pumping through your speakers,

delivering just what you need.

We're well-read and poised,

 we're the best boys.

 We're the chemists, who found the formula,

to make your heart swell and burst.

No matter what they say,

 don't believe a word.

 'Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll

keep believing it.

I’ll keep singing this lie

I’ll keep singing this lie

Chorus

Verse 2

We traveled, like gypsies, only

with worse luck and far less gold.

We're the kids you used to love

 but then we grew old.

We're the lifers here ‘til the bitter end

condemned from the start.

Ashamed of the way the songs

and the words own the beating of our hearts.

‘Cause I’ll keep singing this li

I’ll keep singing this lie

Chorus

 There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up

And another around to help us bend your trust.

I've got a sunset in my veins

And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay.

The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie",

I hope you sing along and you steal a line.

I need to keep you like this in my mind

so give in or just give up.

The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie",

I hope you sing along and you steal a line.

I need to keep you like this in my mind

so give in or just give up.

 Are we growing up? Or just going down

 Are we growing up? Or just going down,

 it's just a matter of time until we're all found out.

 Take our tears, put them on ice,

 'cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light.
