Tuning: Standard
Listen to the song to get the strumming. This certainly isn't perfect, but it sounds 
just fine when played. Email me any necessary changes.
Capo on 1st fret.
[Verse 1]
Am                                  C
Are there no fighters left here any more?
Am                                       C
Are we the generation we've been waiting for?
          F
Or are we patiently burning
C       G     Am            G (2 fast double strums with palm mute)
Waiting to be saved?
Am                                      C
Our heroes and icons have mellowed with age
Am                                 C
Following rules that they once disobeyed
F
They're now being led
       C          G        Am            G
When they used to lead the way
[Chorus]
       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Am
that you stood by before?
        F                 C
Are you out there on the front lines
   G               Am
Or at home keeping score?
       F              C            G                     Am
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
             F                          G
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
[Verse 2]
Am                                                C
They laid out the blueprints, they poured down a base
Am                               C
Concrete solutions to slow our decay
F
And when they are gone
        C            G          Am            G (2 fast double strums with palm mute)
Who the f*ck's gonna take their place?
Am                                 C
Will it be the cynics, the critics galore?
Am                                 C
Cliche apathetic passed out on the floor
F                          C         G    Am       G
The trusting complicit who collectively ignore
[Chorus]
       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Am
that you stood by before?
        F                 C
Are you out there on the front lines
   G               Am           G
Or at home keeping score?
       F              C            G                     Am
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
             F                          G
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
[Bridge]
Am
Don't you remember when you were young
Am                                 F
And you wanted to set the world on fire?
               G              Am
Somewhere deep down, I know you do
Am
And don't you remember when we were young
Am                                F
And we wanted to set the world on fire?
                G             Am
Because I still am and I still do
        F      C            G      Am
Make no mistake we are not afraid
            F           C
To bear the burden of repeating
             G           Am
What they're thinking anyway
                F     C              G     Am
Let's raise the stakes on the bet we made
         F             C
Let's decide to be the architects
    G              Am
The masters of our fate
[Final Chorus]
       F                C
Yeah we still believe in all the things
     G               Am
that you stood by before
    F           C
And after everything we've seen here
G          Am
Maybe even more
       F                  C        G               Am
And I know we're not the only ones we were not the first
             F                             G              Am
Unapologetically we'll stand behind each word
