Dm
Stuck in a crisis
C
Without a conscience
F              Gm             Dm  A#
Trapped in a place we don't belong
Dm
There's no more heroes
C
Left to believe in
F                   Gm               Dm A#
They've pushed our backs against the wall

A#                            Dm
I know that something has to change
        C              Gm
We got lost along the way
A#                                       Dm
Your thoughts and prayers can't fix the pain
              C             Gm
'Cause we're falling down again

Crooks and deceivers
Misled believers
A world where decency is gone
Chaotic flashes
Of huddled masses
Stare down the barrel of the gun

I know that something has to change
We got lost along the way
Your thoughts and prayers can't fix the pain
'Cause we're falling down again

Chorus:
           Dm          A#
Live in a reckless paradise
              F                  Gm
The house is burning, trapped inside
   Dm          A#
A reckless paradise
      F                  Dm
The wheels are turning truth to lies
    Dm          A#
In reckless paradise
       C               Gm
Could cut the tension with a knife
    Dm          A#
In reckless paradise
     F            C                A#  Dm C Gm
It's up to us to read between the lines

A#                                       Dm
Your thoughts and prayers can't fix the pain
              C            Gm
'Cause we're falling down again

Chorus

Your thoughts and prayers can't fix the pain
'Cause we're falling down again
