Capo: 1
ETest my reality, Gcheck if there's a weak spot 
AClinging to insanity Ein hopes the world will ease up 
GTry and make it look like iAt's all somehow getting better 
E'Cause I know how to play it pretty Agood against the measure 
GEveryone started out a little insane 
EBut we learned pretty quick Ahow to fake it for the game, 
Gbut some you never Elearned to drop the act
Aso under that skin of yours is a Gheartattack
Chorus: 
Cause everybody's so Escared 
We don't want to gGo there 
We don't want to maAke a move 
We've got all our livEes to lose 
Screaming in thGe dark 
While we just plAay our part 
I'll play riEght along 
Like I don't kGnow what's going on 
Somebody mAake a move 
 SomebodEy make a move 
Please somGebody make a move 
We all knowA, we all know what's going on
EAnd if I the answers GI'd have written them out
ASo I could tell you what to do Eand what this thing is about
GBut all I've ever learned Acomes second hand
EAnd I dare not preach what I Gdon't understand
AYou and I we share Ethe same disease
GCover up compromise Ais what we grieve 
EI've let more than my Gshare of revivals die 
AThis isn't pretty, Ebut it's what I am tonight
Chorus 1: 
Cause everybody's so Escared 
We don't want to gGo there 
We don't want to maAke a move 
We've got all our livEes to lose 
Screaming in thGe dark 
While we just plAay our part 
I'll play riEght along 
Like I don't kGnow what's going on 
Somebody mAake a move 
Somebody mEake a move 
Please somGebody make a move 
We all knowA, we all know what's going on
Bridge: 
Pointing mEy fingers 
The probleGms still linger 
They keep Agetting bigger 
And I hold Ethe trigger 
Running wiEth fire
I live likGe a liar 
Please somAebody make a move
Chorus 2:
Cause everybody's so Escared
