Em          Am     G      B7
Now is the climax to the story
      Em        Am        G      B7
That gives the demons and angels purpose
 Em       Am           G      B7
They fly around while we are walking
     Em        Am      G       B7        C
And mold our emotions just to please them

Chorus:
      D             Em
I am cold, can you hear
         G       B7           C
I will fly, with no hope, no fear
           D               Em
And the ground, taunts my wings
              G      D
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I sing

B7               Em
All we are is an isle of flightless birds
             Am                            G
We find our worth in giving birth and stuff
                                        B7
We're lining our homes against winding roads
And we think the going is tough
    Em                               Am
We pick songs to sing, remind us of things that no body cares about
     G                            B7
And honestly we're probably more suicidal than ever now
Em                      Am                                        G
If you decide to live by, what you think's wrong and what's right
                                          B7
Believe me you'll begin to wish you were sleeping
                                            Em
Your weeping will creep in head and you'll cry
                         Am                           G
But if we wake up every morning and decide what we believe
                       B7                                   Em   Am  G  B7
We can take apart our very heart and the light will set us free

Chorus:
C     D             Em
I am cold, can you hear
         G        B7          C
I will fly, with no hope, no fear
          D               Em
And the ground, taunts my wings
              G      D         C
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I

       D            Em
I am cold, can you hear
         G        D           C
I will fly, with no hope, no fear
          D               Em
And the ground, taunts my wings
              G      D
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I

      C
How frustrating, and so degrading
                       D
His time, we're wasting
                                                             Em
And time will fly by and the sky will cry as light is fading

And he is waiting, oh so patiently
          G                                   D
While we repeat the same routine as we will please comfortability
C
Please think about why you can't sleep in the evening
      D
And please don't be afraid of what your soul is really thinking
Em
Your soul knows good and evil, your soul knows both sides
          G                        D
And it's time you pick your battle, and I promise you this is mine
