[Verse]
C#Two hands hold my FaF#ther's cup
C#One says "drink," the oF#ther's stuck
On A#meverything I've tG#ried to push aC#way, push aF#way
When the C#Devil whispered F#in my ear

A#mIf I stay on the strG#aight and narrow C#wayF#  
[Chorus]
It's in these A#mbonesF#  
C#But some people F#never see
C#They won't wake up F#from the dream
And C#go it alone
Unless we A#mgrowF#  
C#Transform in oF#ther's eyes
C#Cascading buF#tterflies
C#Into the unkF#nown, into the unkC#nownF#

[Verse]

C# F#

Two hands hold my Father's cup

C# F#

One says "drink," the other's stuck

A#m G# C# F#

On everything I've tried to push away, push away

C# F#

When the Devil whispered in my ear

C# F#

That I could live a thousand years

A#m G# C# F#

If I stay on the straight and narrow way

[Chorus]

A#m F#

It's in these bones

C# F#

But some people never see

C# F#

They won't wake up from the dream

And go it alone

A#m F#

Unless we grow

C# F#

Transform in other's eyes

C# F#

Cascading butterflies

C# F# C# F#

Into the unknown, into the unknown

[Bridge]

A#m F# C#

And we think if we let this one brick fall

A#m F# C#

We'll lose the whole damn wall

A#m F# C#

And we think if we let this one brick fall

A#m F# C#

We'll lose the whole damn wall
