[Verse 1]
DWe make patterns out of stars and we whisper little Bmprayers
To be somewhere that we're Gnot and if we're good it will tAake us there
DBut then the light comes through the dark and our questions fall Bmapart
It's just the beating of our hGearts and the still of the mAidnight air
[Pre-Chorus]
DAnd I get so Bmoverwhelmed till it's Ghard to tell
What I'm tAhinking
[Chorus]
We get Ddown down down, we feel sorry for ourselves
We get dBmown down down, we all need somebody's help
Let's get Dloud loud loud, till there's love and nothing else
'Cause the Gmore that you give the Amore that comes back aDround
[Verse 2]
DSo we hide away our hurts and put bandaids on our fBmears
And we lie to all our fGriends: move along there's no pAroblems here
DBut then the orchestra will start, and the violins appBmear
And a simple little mGelody has us fAighting tears
[Pre-Chorus]
DAnd I get so Bmoverwhelmed till it's Ghard to tell
What I'm tAhinking
[Chorus]
We get Ddown down down, we feel sorry for ourselves
We get dBmown down down, we all need somebody's help
Let's get Dloud loud loud, till there's love and nothing else
'Cause the Gmore that you give the Amore that comes back aDround
[Bridge]
But the Bmhardest part is the Gway things are
And how Dquickly fingers will Ableed
And the Bmgrace we need is not in Gmagazines,
It's just Dspace, in between, when we Abreathe
[Chorus]
I am Ddown down down, I feel sorry for myself
And I get Bmdown down down, and I need somebody's help
Let's get lDoud loud loud, till there's love and nothing else
'Cause the Gmore that we give, the Amore that comes back...
DDown down down, we feel sorry for ourselves
We're dBmown down down, we all need somebody's help
Let's get lDoud loud loud, till there's love and nothing else
'Cause the Gmore that you give the Amore that comes back Daround
'Cause the Gmore that you give the Amore that comes back Bmaround
'Cause the Gmore that you give the Amore that comes back Daround

[Verse 1]

D Bm

We make patterns out of stars and we whisper little prayers

G A

To be somewhere that we're not and if we're good it will take us there

D Bm

But then the light comes through the dark and our questions fall apart

G A

It's just the beating of our hearts and the still of the midnight air

[Pre-Chorus]

D Bm G

And I get so overwhelmed till it's hard to tell

What I'm thinking

[Chorus]

We get down down down, we feel sorry for ourselves

We get down down down, we all need somebody's help

Let's get loud loud loud, till there's love and nothing else

G A D

'Cause the more that you give the more that comes back around

[Verse 2]

D Bm

So we hide away our hurts and put bandaids on our fears

G A

And we lie to all our friends: move along there's no problems here

D Bm

But then the orchestra will start, and the violins appear

G A

And a simple little melody has us fighting tears

[Pre-Chorus]

D Bm G

And I get so overwhelmed till it's hard to tell

What I'm thinking

[Chorus]

We get down down down, we feel sorry for ourselves

We get down down down, we all need somebody's help

Let's get loud loud loud, till there's love and nothing else

G A D

'Cause the more that you give the more that comes back around

[Bridge]

Bm G

But the hardest part is the way things are

D A

And how quickly fingers will bleed

Bm G

And the grace we need is not in magazines,

D A

It's just space, in between, when we breathe

[Chorus]

I am down down down, I feel sorry for myself

And I get down down down, and I need somebody's help

Let's get loud loud loud, till there's love and nothing else

G A

'Cause the more that we give, the more that comes back...

Down down down, we feel sorry for ourselves

We're down down down, we all need somebody's help

Let's get loud loud loud, till there's love and nothing else

G A D

'Cause the more that you give the more that comes back around

G A Bm

'Cause the more that you give the more that comes back around

G A D

'Cause the more that you give the more that comes back around
