G# D# C# G# Some says your dreams are a distant road C# G# D# Down which our hearts would like to go Fm Cm C# G# But I have always stayed in place C# G# D# Under that old illusion that is safe You said the ship in port is the safer one But it's not the reason it was made So forgive me if I wander off And forgive me more if I just stay Chorus: Cm C# Sing another song for the lost ones Fm D# We're the ones who need it the most Cm C# Every time you run it'll cost ya' But it doesn't stop us runnin' If a coward dies a thousand times Then there's a graveyard in my head Cause it took me years to say the words That you did not even need said Sing another song for the lost ones We're the ones that need it the most Nothin' that you fear is forgotten It follows you around like G# D# G# Fm Then everything danced to a stranger tune G# D# G# C# And we found our song and we found our truth G# D# G# Fm And now that we know it's that we always knew G# D# G# C# Farewell to the chains we were born into G# D# G# And as we danced among the ashes of our arms Fm We laughed it off G# D# G# And then we burned our tiny world to find the ocean C# G# Just beyond those paper walls You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsCm  C#  D#  Fm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
