Verse 1:
        C#m
We are alive for a moment
One second in the
great abyss of time
All the bleeding
all the hate
                     C#m
Just one blink of an eye
        A            E
All the conflicts it visits
     B             C#m
dire pain on human life
       A       E
Are we missing what
         B
it is to be alive?

  One by one the pieces fall
                           E

Verse 2:
        C#m        A
Our innocence is a virtue
        E
But our arrogance will
B             C#m
only leave us blind
    A              E
Unattended without anyone
   B             C#m
to save our idle lives
             A
Will we find out
     E
that everything we 
B             C#m
know exists inside
     A
of a fraction
     B
Of a fraction

Verse 1:
Fm
  Far beyond the reach
of prediction
Lies a promise of a 
             Eb
break in the code

And the truth untold
Just before the 
black swan rises
The horizon will

Our assumptions

dissipate in the flood

And return to destroy
Everything seems
to be constant
Shifts direction and
                Eb
divides what we know
           Fm
Everything that we hold
   Eb
So close

C#       Fm
  The explosion fathers

I will never anticipate

  To unravel the 
          Eb
cannon bearing the one

Bm               G  
The bridge is all crumbled. 
                 D
The water soaks into rocks 
Bm                  G            D
that fell at the bottom of the road (At the end of the town.)
Bm                G
The town that we lived in. 
                D 
The memories shaken apart from the weeds that grow

Bm
Over the sidewalks, 
G                      D           A
Running away from the streets we knew, 
Bm
Sidewalks,

Like the time we thought was made for you. 
Or 

(intro)

(do verse chord pattern)
Out on the front porch, 
watching the cars as they go by
(Eighteen blue, twenty one grey) 
Looking ahead for the first time that we could drive, 
Out on our own, 
To speed away 

From the sidewalks, 
Running away from the streets we knew, 
Sidewalks, 
Like the time we thought was made for you. 
Or 

All of the days have passed us by, 
All of the sun is gone... away. 

Sidewalks, 
Running away from the streets we knew, 

Sidewalks, 
Running away from the streets we knew, 
Sidewalks, 
Like the time we thought was made for you. 
(Sidewalks)
The bridges are crumpled, 
The water soaks into rocks, 
(Sidewalks)
That fell at the bottom of the road.

Just need timing(just hit strings E,A,D)

Somehow my words are rendered useless
Still I pull my lip down to my chest
Just to show you how my jaw is
Tired from waiting to say the things that you should hear (you should hear)

Woah, in the shadows of our life
We can fall into the night unscarred
Woah, in the shadows of our life
We can never let it go this far
Dm5       C          Bb
Afterall we're still the same
Dm5       C          Bb
These empty promises seem to never change
Dm5                                 C  Bb
there's a smile on my face and it's 2:55 AM
                            Dm5                           C     Bb
