C#
There's gonna be opposition,
ain't no way around it
                        F#
If you're looking for strong and steady, 
               A#m
well baby you found it
                   F#
We'll weather the coldest nights
G#                   C#
Baby, we're a dying breed

When everyone's compromising
I'll be your diehard
I'll be there when water's rising
I'll be your lifeguard
We're cut from a stained glass mountain
Baby, we're a dying breed

When facing the wind got wicked
We rallied and raised up
So now if she comes back kicking
We'll know what we're made of
There's gonna be opposition
But we've got everything we need
Ooh, baby, we're a dying breed

Chorus:
          C#                            F#
From the coveted touch of a girl in love
       D#m                      A#m          G#
I was lifted by the sound of a spirit in need
 F#                  C#
Baby, we're a dying breed

F#
I don't know what you want from me
Sometimes I don't know what to do
C#                             F
It's like I'm screaming in a dream
                   F#
It's like I can't get through
F
What if we're not prepared for this
                                A#m
What if we just can't find the trail
         G#                  F#
And I remember the promise I made
         G#
And the way that I felt

Chorus

We've got everything we need
Baby, we're a dying breed
