G              Am
Sometimes I'm beaten
G             Am
Sometimes I'm broke
       G/B             C      Dm           Am
'Cause sometimes this city is nothing but smoke

Is there a secret?
Is there a code?
Can we make it better? 'Cause I'm losing hope

Chorus:
Am                         C
Tell me how to be in this world
                 F                     C
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
                   F             C
Tell me how 'cause I believe in something
F            C  G/B
I believe in us

After the wreckage
After the dust
I still hear the howling, I still feel the rush
Over the riots, oh
Above all the noise
Through all the worry, I still hear your voice

Chorus:
So, tell me how to be in this world
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
Tell me how ‘cause I believe in something
I believe in us
Tell me when the light goes down
That even in the dark we will find a way out
Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
I believe in us

F
We used to be kids living just for kicks
Am
In cinema seats learning how to kiss
C                                          G
Running through streets that were painted gold
G                                     F
We never believed we'd grow up like this

Chorus:
So tell me how to be in this world
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
Tell me how 'cause I believe in something
I believe in us
Tell me when the light goes down
That even in the dark we can find a way out
Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
I believe in us
I believe in something
And I believe in us
