Am9
The day we lost our voice with little choice,
I can't explain
          Em9
An act of agony
Am9
And someone told me too that it's
true when you call aloud
          Em9
It's only destiny

Or is it mystery
Am9
But then we came around and sang our
song and acted proud
              Em9
And posed for memory

Chorus:
F#m7
We made a cry to the underground
Em9
Are you there
F#m7
I looked and saw that they were still around
Em9             Am9 Bm7 Em9
But do you care

I drank a little bit, so under-lit to see it now
The show was never seen
And all the time I lost is never lost
It's only thumbing through eternity

Chorus:
F#m7
We made a cry to the underground
Em9
Are you there
E#m7
I looked and saw that they were still around

But do you care

Who are you going to see
D#maj7       A#         G#/A# A# G#/A# C/D Bm7 Em9
What are you going to be

Chorus:
F#m7
You made a cry to the underground
Em9
Are you there

I looked and saw that they were still around

But do you care
