My favourite really.

DGCACd (One step down open D)
D Em
Simple words we never knew,
D G
The power behind what they put us through,
D
Now it's all begun
Em Bm A
What it takes to make it real.
D Em
We're standing on the edge of this,
D G
When our soul is gone what will we miss?
D Em Bm A
We lost what it takes to really make it feel.
Em G
But the better days behind us now,
Bm A
We all need someone to tell us how
Em G
To save the state of where we are,
Bm A D
Its keeps demanding more and more and more.
Asus2
And who will save us?
G Em
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
D Asus2
Can you save, can you save us?
G Em
I can't go on out of rhythm without time.
D Em D G D Em Bm A

D Em
We hold this truth self evident,
D G
The lies we used to represent
D Em Bm A
Who we are, because it was never meant to be.
D Em D G
And all the songs we used to sing, they used to tell us everything.
D Em Bm A
All about how it was never meant to be
Em G
But the better days behind us now,
Bm A
We all need someone to tell us how
Em G
To save the state of where we are,
Bm A D
Its keeps demanding more and more and more.
Asus2
And who will save us?
G Em
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
D Asus2
Can you save, can you save us?
G Em
I can't go on out of rhythm without time.
Bm G
Say the words, give it all the time you need.
Bm G
Let it out, oh, just say anything.
Em A
Say the words and make them count,
Em
Say them loud without a doubt.
A
Give us truth and nothing more,
D
Leave us wanting more and more.
