[Verse]
C#m7
I heard this old story before if the
F#m7
people keep killing for the metaphores
B7 E
don't leave much up to the imagination so I
C#m7
wanna give this imagery back but I
F#m7
know it just ain't so easy like that so
B7 E
I turn the page I read the story again and again and again.
[Pre-chorus]
A7
sure seems the same
F#m7
with a different name
B7
we're breaking and rebuilding and we're growing always gussing never
[Chorus]
C#m7 F#m7
Know - ing
B7 E
we're shocking but we're nothing, we're just
C#m7 F#m7
mo - ments
B7 E
we're clever but we're clueless we're just
C#m7 F#m7
Hu - man
B7 E
amusing and confusing
C#m7 F#m7
try - ing
B7 E
but where is this all leading
C#m7
We'll never know
F#m7
We'll never know
B7
We'll never know
E
It all happened so much
[Verse]
C#m7
faster than you could say disaster
F#m7
wanna take a time lapse and take a look at backwards
B7
from the last one,
E
or maybe thats just the answer that we're after
C#m7
but after all we're just a bubble in a boiling pot
F#m7
we're just warm breath and a chain of thought
B7
moments just combusting
E
feel certain but we'll never never know
[Pre-chorus]
A7
sure seems the same
F#m7
give it a different name
B7
we're begging and we're needing and we're trying and we're breathing never
[Chorus]
C#m7 F#m7
Knowing
B7 E
we're shocking but we're nothing
C#m7 F#m7
We're just moments
B7 E
we're clever but we're clueless we're just
C#m7 F#m7
humane
B7 E
amusing and confusing
C#m7 F#m7
We're Hellbent
B7 E
but where is this all going
C#m7
we'll never know
F#m7
we'll never know
B7
we'll never know
E
[Verse]
C#m7
knock knock on the door to door
F#m7
tell you that the metaphore is better than yours
B7
and you can either sink or swim
E
things are looking pretty grim
C#m7 F#m7
if you don't believe in what they're spoon feeding
B7
It's got no feeling
E
so I read it again and again and again
[Pre-chorus]
A7
sure seems the same
F#m7
so many different names
B7
are hearts are strong our heads are weak we'll always be competing never
[Chorus]
C#m7 F#m7
Knowing
B7 E
we're shocking but we're nothing
C#m7 F#m7
we're just moments
B7 E
we're clever but we're clueless
C#m7 F#m7
we're just human
B7 E
amusing and confusing
C#m7 F#m7
but the truth is
B7 E
All we got is questions
C#m7
we'll never know
F#m7
never know
B7
never know
E
