        Am
Are we crazy?
                    Dm
Living our lives through a lens
                      F
Trapped in our white picket fence,
like ornaments
    C
So comfortable, we’re living in
a bubble, bubble
   Em
So comfortable, we cannot see the
trouble, trouble

Aren't you lonely
Up there in utopia
Where nothing will ever be enough?
Happily numb
So comfortable, we're living in
a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the
trouble, trouble

F Dm  C
  So put
                   Am
Your rose-colored glasses on
    Em
And party on

Chorus:
Am
Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Dm
Turn it up, keep it on repeat
                                   F
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
YEAH! We think we’re free, drink,
this one’s on me
      C
We’re all chained to the rhythm,
Em
to the rhythm, to the rhythm
Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Come on, turn it up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we're free
Drink, this one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm

Are we tone deaf?
Keep sweeping it under the mat
Thought we could do better than that
I hope we can
So comfortable, we're living in
a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the
trouble, trouble

So put your rose-colored glasses on
And party on

Chorus

Dm         Em
It is my desire
F                                G
Break down the walls to connect, inspire
Am
Up in your high place, liars
 G
Time is ticking for the empire
Dm                     Em
The truth they feed is feeble
       F               G
As so many times before
     Am
The greed over the people
       G
They stumbling and fumbling and we about to riot
      G
They woke up, they woke up the lions

Chorus:
Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Come on, turn it up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we're free
Drink, this one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm

        Am
It goes on, and on, and on
        Dm
It goes on, and on, and on
        F
It goes on, and on, and on
             C    Em
'Cause we're all chained to the rhythm
