Em
Don't try to
take this from me
Don't try to
take this from me
Am
Now-ow-ow-ow-
ow-ow-ow-ow
Em
Don't try to
take this from me
Don't try to
take this from me
Am
Now-ow-ow-ow-
ow-ow-ow-ow

C
Feels like I'm waken
from the dead
And everyone's
     Am
been waiting on me
C
Least now I'll
never have to wonder
What it's like to
        Am
sleep a year away
C
But were we indestructible
I thought that we
      Am
could brave it all (all)
C
I never thought that
what would take me out
    Am
Was hiding down below

          G
Lost the battle
        Am
win the war
      C
I'm bringing my
sinking ship back
         D
to the shore
               G
We're starting over
             Am
or head back in
           C
There's a time and a place
                      D
to die but this ain't it

Chorus:
C
If there's a
future, we want it
Am
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
C
If there's a
future, we want it
Am        F
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
C
If there's a
future, we want it
Am
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
C
If there's a
future, we want it
Am        F
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

Don't try to
take this from me
Don't try to
take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-
ow-ow-ow-ow
Don't try to
take this from me
Don't try to
take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-
ow-ow-ow-ow

Wish I could find a crystal ball
For the days I feel completely worthless
You know I'd use it all for good
I would not take it for granted
(Gra-gra-granted)
Instead I have some memories
For the days I don't feel anything
At the least, they will remind me
Not to make the same mistakes again

Lost the battle, win the war
Bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
We're starting over, or head back in
There's a time and a place
to die but this ain't it

Chorus

           C
There's a time and
              Am
a place to die
           C
There's a time and
              Am
a place to die
And this ain't it
           C
There's a time and
              Am
a place to die
               G Am
And this ain't it
           C
this ain't it
           D
This ain't it
           G
There's a time and
a place to die
          Am
There's a time and
a place to die
               C   D
But this ain't it, no

Chorus:
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it now
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
