[Intro]
Em  G  x2

[Verse]
Em
Birds don‘t sing it‘s like they know what‘s coming
G
everything collides

             Em
and when the black clouds form on southern ground
G
noone here survives

[Pre Chorus]
      Em
so we feed ourselves on the empty
    G
and breathe in their lies
          Em
while the water brings no cleansing
     G
just reflects strangers eyes

[Chorus]
          G*      F#*   E*
we scream who are we to know
G*      F#*   E*
who are we to question
       G*  F#*   E*
at the end of it all
G*          F#*     E*
truth‘s too hard to mention

[Verse]
Em
buildings fall and the herds start running
G
chased out by the skies

Em
but all that comes from broken dreams
  G
I burned out empty tries

[Pre Chorus]
     Em
they feed themselves on the empty
    G
and breathe out their lies
          Em
while the water we‘ve been trending
     G
gets deeper all the while

[Chorus]
          G*      F#*   E*
we scream who are we to know
G*      F#*   E*
who are we to question
       G*  F#*   E*
at the end of it all
G*          F#*     E*
truth‘s too hard to mention

Em

[Verse]
Em
don‘t get lost don‘t forge your own cage
G
you‘ll not hold the key

Em
don‘t get lost don‘t forge your own cage
G
you‘ll not hold the key

[Bridge]
G*  F#* E*  E
for ve-ry long

[Verse]
Em
Birds don‘t sing it‘s like they know what‘s coming
G
everything collides

Em
and when the black clouds form on southern ground
G
noone here survives

[Pre Chorus
      Em
so we feed ourselves on the empty
    G
and breathe in their lies
          Em
while the water we‘ve been drinking
   G
it burns us deep inside

[Chorus]
            G*       F#*   E*
we screamed who were we to know
G*       F#*    E*
who were we to question
       G*  F#*   E*
at the end of it all
    G*            F#*     E
our truth was too hard to mention
