CHORDS:
F#m [244200]
A [577600]
E [022100] or [12/14/14/13/0/0]
Bm [799700]
C#m [046650] or [9/11/11/9/0/0]
The chords are 2 beats each for the intro 2, walk, and bridge.
For the verses, mute (or not) the high B and E strings.
For the walk and intro 1 and 2, I think it is a good idea to mute them.
The final bridge changes chords because it is repeated in the chorus, which also
has different chords.

[INTRO drums, piano, and vocals]
F#m, A, Bm, A
[VERSE 1]
C#m, F#m, A, E
We're all standing with our backs against the wall, sooner or later
Waiting on a phone that never calls, at all
Heartbreak comes rollin' in like a storm, sooner or later
Trying to swim but you're sinking like a stone, alone
[WALK]
F#m, A, Bm, A
And I can feel the fire in the night waiting here
Baby, it's like we're walking on a wire through the fear
Take my hand, we'll get there

We're gonna make it

Milk and honey 'til we get our fill

sooner or later
Sooner than later, sooner or later
[VERSE 2]
C#m, F#m, A, E
We're all waiting on a dream
That's hard to own, sooner or later
Trying to feel the high
Without the low, you know
[WALK]

You can feel the fire in the night lying here
Baby, it's like we're walking on a wire through the fear
Take my hand, we'll get there
[BRIDGE]
C#m, F#m, A, E
The fear inside the hills we've climbed
The tears this side of heaven
All these dreams inside of me
I swear we're gonna get there
Sooner or later, we're gonna make it
