          B
I've been driving this road
for the third straight day
          G#m
These are thoughts from the
past not to pick my brain
    F#
And now I feel I'm
                  E
screaming to the world
          B
Cuz this highways
going nowhere
        G#m
And the lines have
all been blurred
        F#
By the rains falling
                  E
down in front of me

G#m
So I clear the
E
windshield just to find
          B
Another cross to mark
                 F#
the passing of a life
       G#m
It's a crystal clear
reminder That all
E
things come to an end
      G#m
And I wonder when that
E        F#         B
end will come for  me

Chorus:
 B
When the lights go down
G#m
And the clocks time out
F#
And the bells just
        E
don't chime anymore
B
It's a tragedy
G#m
that we can't see
F#
Our lives on the
E
other side of every
         B  E G#m E F#
single smile

I've been asking myself for
the third straight night if
there's truth in the writings
that shape our lives
And now I feel like screaming to the world
Do these sermons run in circles or are they
spoken by design to erase the thoughts of
insecurity?

And maybe we’re just never meant
to find the answer to the question we've
all kept inside
Give me something to believe in
Give me anything at all
‘Cause right now this world just feels
like it’s too small

Chorus

B
I wont cry
G#m
Not tonight
F#            E
I won't back down
without a fight
B
I wont cry
G#m
Not tonight
F#            E
I won't back down

Chorus

When the lights go down
And the clocks time out
I won't lie down without a fight
Is it tragedy that we can't see?
I won't lie down without a fight
