Am
Your stitches are all out
     D
But your scars are healing wrong
  Am                 D
The helium balloon inside your room has come undone
      C           G/B
And it's pushing up at the ceiling
     Am               E/G#
And the flickering lights it cannot get beyond

( F  Dm/F  F  Dm/F )

Am         C
Everyone takes turns
     D             D/F#
Now it's yours to play the part
       Am          C
And they're sitting all around you
     D         D/F#
Holding copies of your chart
     C    G/B
And the misery inside their eyes is
Am         E/G#
Synchronized and reflecting into yours

( F  Dm/F  F  Dm/F )

C   E
Hold on!
Am          F
One more time with feeling
C       E   Am             F
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm
C/G          E/B        Am               F
Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right
Dm      F   Dm     F
This is why we fight

(Doo..doo-doo-doo-doo...doo...doo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo...)

( C  C/E  F  F  C  C/E  F  F  C/E  D  D/F# )

( D  Dm/F  Em  Dm  C )

   Am
You thought by now you'd be
     D
So much better than you are
   Am
You thought by now they'd see
         D
That you have come so far

     C            G/B
And the pride inside their eyes
   Am           E/G#               F
Would synchronize into a love you've never known
    E/G#           F
So much more than you've been show

C   E
Hold on!
Am          F
One more time with feeling
C       E   Am             F
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm
C/G          E/B        Am               F
Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right

C      E    F
This is why we fight
C      E   F
This is why we fight
