[Verse]
   C#   BbWe got nowhere to run
   G#   F#We can hide till the morning comes
   C#   BbAnd in the blinding sun
   G#    F#We'll have to face what it means to be a
C#human Bbbeing.   Are we prototypes?
   G#     F#The first mistakes of a god who couldn’t
C#get it Bbright. When the stars collide
   G#  F#Maybe that's when things will start F#over
Maybe we get another C#try
[Chorus]
My C#heart still beats
N.C.
Any fool could see
It feels like I'm fading Bbout
N.C.
These little blasphemies
Mean the F#world to me
N.C.
That's my cross to carry
    C#We haunt this town
Like a stain that they can't get Bbout
It's a shame how we let them F#down and I'm sorry
[Solo]
C# Bb
G# F#
[Verse]
   C#    BbWhile the walls collapse
   G#    F#We'll try and get it right
   C#    BbUntil something snaps
   G#   F#And we retreat into the safety of the C#night
[Bridge]
Now one knows just how deep it G#goes
But it feels like you're falling C#now
When you G#hit the ground
That's F#when you found
There's so much to forget Bbabout
G#Close your F#eyes
Try not to make a Bbsound
When G#I close miF#ne
N.C.
I can still see the outlines
[Chorus]
Maybe we get another C#try
It feels like I'm fading Bbout
N.C.
These little blasphemies
Mean the F#world to me
N.C.
That's my cross to carry
    C#We haunt this town
Like a stain that they can't get Bbout
It's a shame how we let them F#down and I'm sorry
I'm sorry we let them C#down.
