D#m    B  F #     D#m
All of us believe that
A#m         C#    D#m
this is not up to you
     B           F#
The fact of the matter
D#m            A#m   C#
is really it's up to me
D#m             B F#
   Hey, Hey, Hey
D#m             A#m C#
   Hey, Hey, Hey
      D#m B F# D#m A#m C#
Let's go !

D#m
How can we fake this anymore (anymore)
We turn our backs away and choose
to just ignore (choose to just ignore)
(Some say) Some say it's ignorance
It makes me feel some innocence
(Some say) It takes away a
part of me But I won't let go

Chorus:
       B         F#
So why can't you see it’s
C#
not the way (not the way)
        B        F#
When we all fall down
        C#     D#m
it will be too late
         B       F#    C#
Why is there no reason we
can't change (no reason)
        B         F#
When we all fall down who
     C#       D#m
will take the blame

             D#m
What will it take

If nothing could ever be
this real (be this real)
A life unsatisfied that I
could never feel (could never feel)
(Some say) This future's not so bright
Some can't make the sacrifice
(Some say) It's much more
than just black and white
And I won't follow

Chorus

D#m   C#   B
Times like these
F#   A#m  C# A#m C#
I've come to see how
D#m C#/F F#    G#m
Eve-ry---thing but
C#/F G#m A#m C#
time is  run-ning out

D#m             B F#
   Hey, Hey, Hey
D#m             A#m C#
   Hey, Hey, Hey

D#m    B  F# D#m
All of us be-lieve
   A#m  C# D#m
in what we need
B    F# D#m
What we have's
     A#m C#
what we  don't see

B             F#            C#
  So how long has this gone on
I don't see this ending
B              F#
  It's too late we can't change
C#         D#m
  What has now begun
B            F#
  We act like it's not right
C#
  Why are we pretending
B                  F#
  We've been wrong for so long
C#                 D#m
  We've known this all along
