[Intro]
C# F# A B
[Verse 1]
         C#
Ring the verse, let it in, said softly begin
      B
If it feels like the first time, don't let it end
         F#                   A                    B
Cause it wanders by like something that could have been
   C#                                  B
If I were to write the song that could penetrate your ears
         F#
Would it calm your trembling soul
         A               B
Would it ease your every fear
[Pre-Chorus to Chorus]
          D#m                                    F#
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
                        D#m                               A
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
     B       C# F#m A B    C# F#m A B
And you shiver at the sight...
       C#         F#m             A       B       C# F#m A B
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
[Verse 2]
          C#
Could one song solve all our problems
         B
Could it have the strength to heal
            F#
Or would it cripple and destroy
          A           B
And leave nothing unrevealed
C#
Might it uproot every lie
    B
And force us all to cower
F#
Beneath its tremendous weight
       A               B
In the wake of all its power
[Pre-Chorus to Chorus]
          D#m                                    F#
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
                        D#m                               A
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
         B            C# F#m A B    C# F#m A B
And you shiver at the sight...
       C#         F#m             A       B       C# F#m A B
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
C#F#mAB
    (x4)
[Solo]
C#BF#AB
     (x2)
[Break]
C#
Oh, did you know, did you know
Did you know better
B
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better
F#
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better
A
Don't you know that
[Chorus]
     B            C# F#m A B    C# F#m A B
you shiver at the sight...
       C#         F#m             A       B       C# F#m A B
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
[Final Verse]
   C#         F#m       A   B
If I were to write the song
           C#       F#m        A   B
That could somehow change the world
         C#        F#m
Would it be a calm surrender
     A             B
Or a fight to the death?
         C#                F#m
Would it give something to live for
         A              B
Would we give our final breath?
         C#           F#m
Would it be a roaring opera
        A                B
Or as sweet as a child's kiss?
         C#                 F#m
Would it sound like all the others
            A          B
Or would it sound something like this
