depth to your playing. This is all personal opinion though, and how you play is all up to you, friend :)
[Chords used : Am, F, C, E, Dm, G]
[Play only last three strings]
We hold onto the Amlies to feel free
So shackled by Dmsmiles, so empty
We're scared of the Fwar so we've forgotten who we Gare
[Play last five strings]
We've traded in Amhope for safety
We're raised in the Dmsmoke
Insisting that we're all too Ftired for light the fire and shake the Eearth
[Play with whatever strum pattern you want]
But if Fall we are is just Dmmachines
Let's become a Ammiracle and break free from these cGhains
We Fmust be more than just Dmmachines
                           Am[Continue strumming Am, getting louder]
So let them hear our hearts
So let them hear our hearts
So let them hear our hearts
So let them hear our hearts
[Instrumental :  Am(6 beats),  F(2 beats),  Dm(6 beats),  E(2 beats)] x 2
AmWhere will you runF, when there's Dmno place left for you to Ghide?
AmWhen you're faced with the Fflood
                                Dm                     G   Am[continue  Amchord]
Will you stand for the future and swallow your pride?
Where will you run? Will you run?
AmSometimes I feel like I'm the Conly one who dares to Amdream
I Cscream at the top of my Amlungs
CI hope that I'm proven AmwrongG  
But if alFl we are is just maDmchines
Let's become a Ammiracle and break free from these cGhains
We Fmust be more than just Dmmachines
                           Am[Continue strumming Am, getting louder]
So let them hear our hearts
So let them hear our hearts
AmWhere will you runF, when there's Dmno place left for you to Ghide?
AmWhen you're faced with the floodF  
Will you Dmstand for the future and Gswallow your pride?
AmWhere will you runF, when there's Dmno place left for you to Ghide?
AmWhen you're faced with the Fflood
                                Dm                     G   Am[continue  Amchord]
Will you stand for the future and swallow your pride?
Where will you run? Will you run?
[Gentle strumming]
AmIf all we are is just Cmachines
DmThen we must be the Gcogs inside the wheels of change
AmWe must be more than just Cmachines
DmWe can't afford to hide, Gwe must embrace the pain
[Louder]
AmIf all we are is just Cmachines
DmThen we must be the Gcogs inside the wheels of change
AmWe must be more than just Cmachines
DmWe can't afford to hide, Gwe must embrace the pain
[Let  Amring out]
AmWhere will you run, when there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood
Will you stand for the future and swallow your pride?
