    Intro C#m---E-B----F#m----E--B  
    C#mIn a world of uncertainty
    The night sky told us all to be patEient
    But when the ground started shaBking
    I wonAdered for how long
    C#mThere's a place that I'd rather be
    There's a voice deep inside of me
    SayEing the progress we are maBking
    Is nAot progress at all
    F#mInto a world of proC#mmises, whoa
    F#mIs where we let ourselves been lAedB  
    We built the brC#midges
    We now sleep unEderB  
    We frame the F#mdoor ways
    But may nEot pass thrBough
    The very C#msame roads

    C#mA black cloud hovers over me
    Without all this guilt I feel naEked
    Something about the wBay it
    WrAaps it's arms around
    C#mWhite snow covers everything
    An angel watches over me
    PraEying, she asks me for a faBvor
    CaAtch me if I fall
    F#mA rush of blood straight to the C#mhead, whoa
    F#mI wonder what this could have bAeenB

Intro --------------

C#m

In a world of uncertainty

The night sky told us all to be patient

But when the ground started shaking

I wondered for how long

C#m

There's a place that I'd rather be

There's a voice deep inside of me

E B

Saying the progress we are making

Is not progress at all

F#m C#m

Into a world of promises, whoa

F#m A B

Is where we let ourselves been led

C#m

We built the bridges

E B

We now sleep under

F#m

We frame the door ways

E B

But may not pass through

C#m

The very same roads

E B

That we now wander

F#m

The Ones you pass us by on

We paved with our bare hands

B A B

Paved with our bare hands

C#m

A black cloud hovers over me

Without all this guilt I feel naked

Something about the way it

Wraps it's arms around

C#m

White snow covers everything

An angel watches over me

E B

Praying, she asks me for a favor

Catch me if I fall

F#m C#m

A rush of blood straight to the head, whoa

F#m A B

I wonder what this could have been

C#m

We built the bridges

E B

We now sleep under

F#m

We frame the door ways

But may not pass through

The very same roads

That we now wander

A C#m

No I never meant to hurt you

A B

No I never meant to do you wrong

A E B

I stood waiting while the man said move along

C#m

We lay the tracks down

But now they rotted

F#m

Like a runaway train

E B

We brace for the crash

C#m

We were in love once

Have you forgotten?

F#m

Like a runaway train

E B

Bearing down upon a gap

C#m

We built the bridges (brace for the crash)

E B

(Built from their hypocrisy)

F#m

We built the bridges (brace for the crash)

E B

(Now we brace for the crash)

C#m

We built the bridges (brace for the crash)

E B

(Built from their hypocrisy)

F#m

We built the bridges (brace for the crash)

And underneath the shadows we now love
