[Intro]
F C
CYou say life is a dream where we Gcan't say what we mean
AmMaybe just some Groadside scene Fthat we're driving past
CThere's no telling where we'll be in a Gday or in a week
CAnd there's no Gpromises of peace For of happiness
CWell is this why you cling to Gevery little thing
AmAnd polverize and Gderrange all your Fsenses
Maybe Clife is a song but you're Gscared to sing along
CUntil the Gvery Fending
GOh, it's Amtime to let Ggo of everytFhing we used to kCnow
AmIdeas that Gstrengthen who we've Fbeen
AmIt's time to cut Gties that won't Fever free our Cminds
AmFrom the chains Gand shackles that they're Fin
GOh, tell me what good is Csaying that you're free
In a dGark and storming sea
AmYou're chained to your Ghistory, you're Fsurely sinking fast
CYou say that you know that the Ggood Lord's in control
CHe's gonna bless and Gkeep your tired and Foh so restless soul
But at the Cend of the day when every Gprice has been paid
AmYou're gonna rise and sit Gbeside him on Fsome old seat of gold
And Cwon't you tell me why you live like Gyou're afraid to die
CYou'll die like Gyou're afraid to Fgo
GOh, it's Amtime to let Ggo of everytFhing we used to kCnow
AmIdeas that strenGgthen who we've bFeen
AmIt's time to cut Gties that won't Fever free our Cminds
AmFrom the chains and sGhackles that they're Fin
AmFrom the chains and Gshackles that they're Fin
Gm Dm Gm Dm
Gm Dm Gm Dm
Well Clife is a dream 'cause we're all Gwalking in our sleep
AmYou could see us Gstand in lines like Fwe're dead upon our feet
And we Cbuild our house of cards and then we Gwait for it to fall
CAlways forget how sGtrange it is just to Fbe alive at Call

[Intro]

F C

C G

You say life is a dream where we can't say what we mean

Am G F

Maybe just some roadside scene that we're driving past

C G

There's no telling where we'll be in a day or in a week

C G F

And there's no promises of peace or of happiness

C G

Well is this why you cling to every little thing

Am G F

And polverize and derrange all your senses

C G

Maybe life is a song but you're scared to sing along

C G F

Until the very ending

G Am G F C

Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know

Am G F

Ideas that strengthen who we've been

Am G F C

It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds

Am G F

From the chains and shackles that they're in

G C

Oh, tell me what good is saying that you're free

In a dark and storming sea

Am G F

You're chained to your history, you're surely sinking fast

C G

You say that you know that the good Lord's in control

C G F

He's gonna bless and keep your tired and oh so restless soul

C G

But at the end of the day when every price has been paid

Am G F

You're gonna rise and sit beside him on some old seat of gold

C G

And won't you tell me why you live like you're afraid to die

C G F

You'll die like you're afraid to go

G Am G F C

Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know

Am G F

Ideas that strengthen who we've been

Am G F C

It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds

Am G F

From the chains and shackles that they're in

Am G F

From the chains and shackles that they're in

Gm Dm Gm Dm

C G

Well life is a dream 'cause we're all walking in our sleep

Am G F

You could see us stand in lines like we're dead upon our feet

C G

And we build our house of cards and then we wait for it to fall

C G F C

Always forget how strange it is just to be alive at all
