[Intro]
I know Emwe both want to do the Dright thing
But the needle in oCur compass is trembling
Trapped in the fEmlames as our house burns doDwn
CLeft for dead cause we can't find common groCund
 Em   G   Cx2
[Chorus]
EmWe can't find common gGround so we agree Amto burn it down
 C   Emx2 
C Em G
AmWe can't let it burn down so we Gneed to find Dcommon grouCnd
[Verse]
CIt's so hard to find the trutEmh
CWhen the other side wants to bury Emyou, to bury yoDu
CAnd it's so hard to find the wEmay
EmWhen the other side wants to plaCy you like a gameD  
It's all about whCo's wrong and who's right
Don't wanna learn, Emwe just wanna fight
If different thAminkers are enemies just think of what we could Dbe
If oDur thoughts were in harmony
[Bridge]
I know we both wEmant to do the right thiDng
But the needle in oCur compass is trembling
Trapped in the fEmlames as our house burns doDwn
CLeft for dead cause we can't find common groCund
 Em   G   Cx2
[Chorus]
EmWe can't find common gGround so we agree Amto burn it down
 C   Emx2 
C Em G
AmWe can't let it burn down so we Gneed to find Dcommon grouCnd
[Break]
CWe're stuck in a maze of convictiEmon
Every path leads baCck to the beginning
We buDilt these walls
[Verse]
It's all about whCo's wrong and who's right
Don't wanna learn, Emwe just wanna fight
We've been bluAmrring the lines between dreams and realDity
Only the truth Dcould set us free
I know we both wEmant to do the right thiDng
But the needle in oCur compass is trembling
TrEmapped in the flames as our Dhouse burns down
CLeft for dead cause we can't find common groAmundEm  G  D  
Am(Your heart's in the same place
But your miEmnd is a million miles awaGy)D  
AmYour heart's in the same place
But your Emmind is a million miles awGayD  
And it's fDorcing us to separate
AmYour heart's in the same place
But your Emmind is a million miles awGayD  
And it's Dforcing us to separate
[Outro]
(now fading)
Am(Your heart's in the same place
But your Emmind is a million miles awGay)D
