Intro 2x: C#5 ( D5 C#5 ) ( A5 F#5 C#5 )

C#5                         ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
Are you still lost tonight?
                       ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
Living but dead inside
                         ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
This is the proclamation
                         ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
This is the call to rise
                      ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
Are you abused alone?
                          ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
Walking with broken bones
                                  ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
If you feel you've been forgotten
Let this song guide you home


C#5  A5              E5
     We are the disillusioned
                 D5           C#5
     We've been left wanting more
     A5               E5
     Before every aspiration
                D5
     Hits the floor

(Chorus)

C#5      A5       E5   D5
Hold on for your life
C#5     A5        E5        D5
All we feel is so far from alive
     C#5               A5
The damned are done believing
          E5                 D5
And the cursed can dream no more
    C#5     A5       E5
So hold on for your life
         D5               C#5
Because only the strong survive

(Intro)

C#5                              ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
They tell you what you should be
                                 ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
They sell you the plastic dreams
                          ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
Opinions are all provided
                             ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
But nothing is what it seems
                        ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
I dare you take control
Cause empty are hands
                          ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
And bruised are the souls
                                ( A5 F#5 C#5 )
Of those who show no resistance
Of those who are weak below

C#5  A5              E5
     We are the disenchanted
          D5                   C#5
     Who die with each passing day
         A5           E5
     No one here understands us
           D5
     So I say

(Chorus)

C#5      A5       E5   D5
Hold on for your life
C#5     A5        E5        D5
All we feel is so far from alive
     C#5               A5
The damned are done believing
          E5                 D5
And the cursed can dream no more
    C#5     A5       E5
So hold on for your life
         D5               C#5
Because only the strong survive

C#5 B5 A5 (2x)

A5          E5/G#
How will it feel?
C#5                          B5    A5
To live your lie until your dying day
                 E5/G#
Where nothing is real
C#5
As we sacrifice
          B5      A5
Bending until we break
            E5/G#
It's been revealed
C#5
Hold on for your life
                 B5       A5
Dreams are not theirs to take
E5/G#                     C#5
Dreams are not theirs to take

C#5 A5 E5 D5 (2x)

(Chorus)

C#5      A5       E5   D5
Hold on for your life
C#5     A5        E5        D5
All we feel is so far from alive
     C#5               A5
The damned are done believing
          E5                 D5
And the cursed can dream no more
    C#5     A5       E5
So hold on for your life
         D5               C#5
Because only the strong survive

C#5 A5 E5 D5
