F#We live on a lake, and sometimes tA#mhere are waves;
I guess thBat explains why we've beA#men led astrC#ay. 
F#Because if the west is what we need, you can bet we'll be heA#mading east.
We're so eBasily distracted bA#my the slightest brC#eeze.
When there's tF#oo many roads, and far too mA#many shows;
all Bthese empty highs become too many lA#mows.C#  
We wBalk through crowded strA#meets to D#mbe by oursC#elves;
screEaming for hC#elp...
F#I won't wA#mait

B"You were wrF#ong all alEong."C#  
F#We've been drA#mowning,
Band we've been dF#oubting;
BI think it's time F#for a chEange...C#  
We're bF#uilding a home, but it's not mA#made of stone;
a place where wBe can go to fF#ind a lasting hC#ope.
With our aF#nxious pace, life's like an eA#mndless chase;
where we doBn't know who's after us, but we run F#anywaysC#...
We wBalk through crowded strA#meets to D#mbe by oursC#elves;

A#m

D#m

F# A#m

We live on a lake, and sometimes there are waves;

B A#m C#

I guess that explains why we've been led astray.

F# A#m

Because if the west is what we need, you can bet we'll be heading east.

B A#m C#

We're so easily distracted by the slightest breeze.

F# A#m

When there's too many roads, and far too many shows;

B A#m C#

all these empty highs become too many lows.

B A#m D#m C#

We walk through crowded streets to be by ourselves;

E C#

screaming for help...

F# A#m

I won't wait

B F#

to hear them say,

B F# E C#

"You were wrong all along."

F# A#m

We've been drowning,

B F#

and we've been doubting;

B F# E C#

I think it's time for a change...

F# A#m

We're building a home, but it's not made of stone;

B F# C#

a place where we can go to find a lasting hope.

F# A#m

With our anxious pace, life's like an endless chase;

B F# C#

where we don't know who's after us, but we run anyways...

B A#m D#m C#

We walk through crowded streets to be by ourselves;

E C#

screaming for help...

F# A#m

I won't wait

B F#

to hear them say,

B F# E C#

"You were wrong all along."

F# A#m

We've been drowning,

B F#

and we've been doubting;

B F# E C#

I think it's time for a change...

F# C# D#m B

We almost left without saying goodbye.
