C#                                G#
You say life is a dream where we can't say what we mean
A#m              G#              F#
Maybe just some roadside scene that we're driving past
C#                                      G#
There's no telling where we'll be in a day or in a week
C#              G#                 F#
And there's no promises of peace or of happiness

C#                             G#
Well is this why you cling to every little thing
A#m                G#                 F#
And polverize and derrange all your senses
      C#                         G#
Maybe life is a song but you're scared to song along
C#         G#    F#
Until the very ending

G#        A#m          G#           F#                C#
Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know
A#m         G#                    F#
Ideas that strengthen who we've been
A#m               G#               F#             C#
It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds
A#m              G#                         F#
From the chains and shackles that they're in

G#                        C#
Oh, tell me what good is saying that you're free
      G#
In a dark and storming sea
A#m                     G#               F#
You're chained to your history, you're surely sinking fast
C#                              G#
You say that you know that the good Lord's in control
C#                    G#                   F#
He's gonna bless and keep your tired and oh so restless soul
           C#                         G#
But at the end of the day when every price has been paid
A#m                        G#             F#
You're gonna rise and sit beside him on some old seat of gold
    C#                                   G#
And won't you tell me why you live like you're afraid to die
C#               G#                F#
You'll die like you're afraid to go

G#        A#m          G#           F#                C#
Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know
A#m              G#                F#
Ideas that strengthen who we've been
A#m               G#               F#             C#
It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds
A#m                   G#                    F#
From the chains and shackles that they're in
A#m                  G#                     F#
From the chains and shackles that they're in

     C#                                G#
Well life is a dream 'cause we're all walking in our sleep
A#m               G#                   F#         
You could see us stand in lines like we're dead upon our feet
       C#                                    G#
And we build our house of cards and then we wait for it to fall
C#                  G#                    F#           C#
Always forget how strange it is just to be alive at all
