GSome says your Ddreams are a Cdistant Groad
Down Cwhich our Ghearts would like tDo goG  
But EmI have Bmalways sCtayed in pGlace
CUnder that old iGllusion that is sDafeDsus4  
You said the Gship in Dport is the Csafer oGne
But it's Emnot the reasGon it was maDde
So forEmgive me Bmif I Cwander Goff
And forCgive me Gmore if I jDust stay
Em D
Sing another song for the Bmlost onesC  
We're the ones who need it the EmmostD  
Every time you run it'll Bmcost ya'C  
But it doesn't stop us runnin'
If a Gcoward Ddies a Cthousand Gtimes
DThen there's a Cgraveyard Gin my Dhead
'Cause it Emtook me Bmyears to sCay the Gwords
That Cyou deGnied even nDeed said
C D
Sing another song for the Bmlost onesC  
We're the ones who need it the EmmostD  
Nothin' that you fear is foBmrgottenC  
It follows you around like
G G G Em G
G G G Em C
GThen everything Ddanced to Ga strangeEmr tune
GAnd we found our Dsong and we Gfound ouCr truth
GAnd Dnow that we Gknow it's that we always Emknew
GFarewell to the Dchains we were Gborn inCto
G D G Em
G D G C
And as we dGanced among the Dashes of our Garms
We laughed it Emoff
And then we Gburned our tiny Dworld to find the Gocean
Just beCyond those paper wallsG

Some says your dreams are a distant road

Under that old illusion that is safe

So forgive me if I wander off

C G D

And forgive me more if I just stay

Em D

Sing another song for the lost ones

Em D

We're the ones who need it the most

Bm C

Every time you run it'll cost ya'

But it doesn't stop us runnin'

G D C G

If a coward dies a thousand times

D C G D

Then there's a graveyard in my head

Em Bm C G

'Cause it took me years to say the words

C G D

That you denied even need said

C D

Sing another song for the lost ones

Then everything danced to a stranger tune

G D G C

And we found our song and we found our truth

G D G Em

And now that we know it's that we always knew

Farewell to the chains we were born into

G D G Em

G D G C

G D G

And as we danced among the ashes of our arms

We laughed it off

G D G

And then we burned our tiny world to find the ocean

C G

Just beyond those paper walls
