EmThey say it's jDudgement dayEm, I just want yoDu to open your eyes
Open your Cears, be ready, you know? CDuz hope dies
Be ready when your Emhope dies, Dleaving you dreaming 
With your cEmlosed eyes, sDitting there lonely
But you kCnow why, you feel it and you kCnow whyD  
Be ready when your Emhope dies
EmThe world is messed up, "F'd" up fDrom everything detected 
EmIt's rotten to the core and yet they Dwant us to respect it 
CMe, I'm kind of torn 
Cuz when a sinCgle life is taken anothDer one's getting born 
EmIt's the cycle of life and Dwe're in the storm 
The waves are Embeating down hard but we're Dholding our form 
CAnd that deserves a round of applause 
Cuz everyCday we're running away from oblDivion's jaws 
EmGot my grandmother squeDezing on her rosary 
Emwhile she's walking through a fDlood holding groceries 
CAnd this just isn't here it's also overseas, 
CBut isn't that the way god said it Dwould be supposedly? 
Em------ WDell I do not agree 
Cuz I would cEmhange a lot of things if it was Dreally up to me 
CCuz even if you're happy in this place 
CTomorrow can wipe the smile off your fDace
Be ready when your Emhope dies, Dleaving you dreaming 
With your cEmlosed eyes, sDitting there lonely
But you kCnow why, you feel it and you kCnow whyD  
Be ready when your Emhope dies, Dleaving you dreaming
EmFighting your demons, fDrightened and screaming 
And you knCow why, you feel it and you Cknow why D  
Be ready when your Emhope dies 
EmThe world's full of drama in case you Dfolks didn't know 
A million wEmars being fought and breaking GeDneva's Code 
Bodies staCcking up in piles while we surf on our phones 
They're knocking hoCuses down for miles and they're puDtting up thrones 
EmGo ahead and take a Dlook, with both eyes 
EmAnd when you feel it move your sDpirit, don't cry 
CTurn your armor on and remain strong 
Cuz even Cin a perfect world everythiDng goes wrong 
Be ready when your Emhope dies, Dleaving you dreaming 
With your cEmlosed eyes, sDitting there lonely
But you kCnow why, you feel it and you kCnow whyD  
Be ready when your Emhope dies, Dleaving you dreaming
EmFighting your demons, fDrightened and screaming 
And you knCow why, you feel it and you Cknow why D  
Be ready when your Emhope dies 
EmTake a look at what we made here  
This world is full of more tragedies Dthan William Shakespeare's 
CI wonder when the final curtain is closed
Cwill the fact that we did this all to ourselves be exposed 
We got tsEmunamis and earthquakes 
EmMurdering the earth's face
EmExponential birthrates
Tell me thDese are not the worst days? 
CThen tell me how we even the score 
Cwhen on the TV all you see is starving people and war
Be ready when your Emhope dies, Dleaving you dreaming 
With your cEmlosed eyes, sDitting there lonely
But you kCnow why, you feel it and you kCnow whyD  
Be ready when your Emhope dies, Dleaving you dreaming
EmFighting your demons, fDrightened and screaming 
And you knCow why, you feel it and you Cknow why D  
Be ready when your Emhope dies D  
When your hEmope diesD  
When your hCope dies
When your hCope dies  D  Em

Em D Em D

They say it's judgement day, I just want you to open your eyes

C D

Open your ears, be ready, you know? Cuz hope dies

Em D

Be ready when your hope dies, leaving you dreaming

Em D

With your closed eyes, sitting there lonely

C C D

But you know why, you feel it and you know why

Be ready when your hope dies

Em D

The world is messed up, "F'd" up from everything detected

Em D

It's rotten to the core and yet they want us to respect it

Me, I'm kind of torn

C D

Cuz when a single life is taken another one's getting born

Em D

It's the cycle of life and we're in the storm

Em D

The waves are beating down hard but we're holding our form

And that deserves a round of applause

C D

Cuz everyday we're running away from oblivion's jaws

Em D

Got my grandmother squeezing on her rosary

Em D

while she's walking through a flood holding groceries

And this just isn't here it's also overseas,

C D

But isn't that the way god said it would be supposedly?

Em D

------ Well I do not agree

Em D

Cuz I would change a lot of things if it was really up to me

Cuz even if you're happy in this place

C D

Tomorrow can wipe the smile off your face

Em D

Be ready when your hope dies, leaving you dreaming

Em D

With your closed eyes, sitting there lonely

C C D

But you know why, you feel it and you know why

Em D

Be ready when your hope dies, leaving you dreaming

Em D

Fighting your demons, frightened and screaming

C C D

And you know why, you feel it and you know why

Be ready when your hope dies

Em D

The world's full of drama in case you folks didn't know

Em D

A million wars being fought and breaking Geneva's Code

Bodies stacking up in piles while we surf on our phones

C D

They're knocking houses down for miles and they're putting up thrones

Em D

Go ahead and take a look, with both eyes

Em D

And when you feel it move your spirit, don't cry

Turn your armor on and remain strong

C D

Cuz even in a perfect world everything goes wrong

Em D

Be ready when your hope dies, leaving you dreaming

Em D

With your closed eyes, sitting there lonely

C C D

But you know why, you feel it and you know why

Em D

Be ready when your hope dies, leaving you dreaming

Em D

Fighting your demons, frightened and screaming

C C D

And you know why, you feel it and you know why

Be ready when your hope dies

Take a look at what we made here

This world is full of more tragedies than William Shakespeare's

I wonder when the final curtain is closed

will the fact that we did this all to ourselves be exposed

We got tsunamis and earthquakes

Murdering the earth's face

Exponential birthrates

Tell me these are not the worst days?

Then tell me how we even the score

when on the TV all you see is starving people and war

Em D

Be ready when your hope dies, leaving you dreaming

Em D

With your closed eyes, sitting there lonely

C C D

But you know why, you feel it and you know why

Em D

Be ready when your hope dies, leaving you dreaming

Em D

Fighting your demons, frightened and screaming

C C D

And you know why, you feel it and you know why

Em D

Be ready when your hope dies

Em D

When your hope dies

C D Em

When your hope dies
