[Verse 1]
     G*
Busy working, busy avoiding,
G*
  there’s something in it, I’m not entertaining.
                           G*
You want to turn the earth backwards. Why? And who made it?
G*
Time is not what I thought it would be.

[Chorus]
                        G*                                G*
I will try to hold this   if you don’t see where hope is.
                           G                            A
Your hero is not dead just sleeping behind the bars you cling to.
                         Bm                      E
On days you’d like to dismiss the ones I like to sing to.
               G      D                A      E
From dark into bliss,   from dark into bliss,   your hero is not [Interlude] dead.

[Bridge]
          G       F#m  A                 G
If you’re hurting        while they’re anointing again
G*
  and nothing mattered but the box explaining.
                     G         A           D                       A
I want to tell you I love you,   no one to see through, nothing to stand behind.
C    F#m               D                         N.C.
Love gather around, it takes apart and breathes.

[Chorus]
                        N.C.  G*                                G*
I will try to hold this         if you don’t see where hope is.
                           G                            A
Your hero is not dead just sleeping behind the bars you cling to.
                         Bm                      E
On days you’d like to dismiss the ones I like to sing to.
                           G                            A
Your hero is not dead just sleeping behind the bars you cling to.
                         Bm                      E
On days you’d like to dismiss the ones I like to sing to.
               G      A                Bm     E                       (D)
From dark into bliss,   from dark into bliss,   your hero is not dead.
