--KAPO 1--
PART 1 - 0:22
Dm
Deep inside these burning buildings
Voices died to be heard
Years we spent teaching a lesson
We ourselves had never learned
PART 2 - 0:31
Dm                              F
And if strength is born from heartbreak
      G                Dm
Many mountains I could move
                             F
And if walls could speak I'd pray
           G                    Bb
That they would tell me what to do
CHORUS - 0:40
Bb                          C
If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.
Am               DmC  BbAmBb
                  [     ] 
Forget my name and I'll forget it too.
                            C
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives
Am             Dm      C            Dm
Always keep me coming back to you.
PART 1 - 1:05
No signs of life here, save the embers, the occasional flame,
We'd know the way but can't remember, conception to the grave,
PART 2 - 1:14
Shout confessions from the greatest heights, where no one can hear,
All my fears, my insecurities are falling like tears.
CHORUS - 1:23
If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.
Forget my name and I'll forget it too.
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives
               Dm     C        Bb
Always keep me coming back to you.
BRIDGE 1 - 1:44
Dm                          F
The drones will slave away, they're working overtime,
G                            Dm
They serve a faceless queen, they never question why.
Disciples of a God, they neither live nor breathe, (I won't come back!)
But we have bills to pay, yeah we have mouths to feed! (I won't come back!)
I won't come back!

And if you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.
Forget my name and I'll forget it too.
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives
Always keep me coming back to you.
I'm coming back to you!
