Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Do do do doooo
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Come on my little ruin won’t you open up and let us in?
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Time has not been kind but you're still standing here
G Bm
Leave a light on in your window, won’t you let me see a sign?
G Bm
It’s gonna take more than smoke and mirrors now for me this time
[Chorus]
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Come on, my little sorrow, won’t you sing yourself a different song?
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
The melody that made you is now a worn-out sing-along
G Bm
Everybody’s looking at you, but I can’t stand to watch
G Bm
I’ve seen this scene come and go too much
A Em7 A
And oh, how you struggle through the hours, way-yeah-eah
A Em7 A
your sorrow leading the way, hay-yeah-eah
A Em7 G
And as you stood there among the cowards you were letting them win
[Bridge]
Bm A G
But I’m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up
Bm A G
no I’m not, cause you're better than they are and I can’t say it enough
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
that’s enough "what are you doing?"
[Chorus]
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Come on my little ruin won’t you build yourself back up again?
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Won’t you take the time you were given, you promised it to yourself
G Bm
You could stand among the best of them if you could hold your own
G Bm
But no-one's gonna do it for you now, but you and you alone
A Em7 A
And oh, how you struggle with your power, way-yeah-eah
A Em7 A
And keep your back tight to the wall, hay-yeah-eah
A Em7 G
And as you were counted among the cowards they didn’t see you at all
[Verse]
Bm A G
Now you're caught on a rising wave, and I can’t get you off
Bm A G
But I’m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up
Bm A
No, I’m not, cause you're better than they are, you're better than they are
G
You're better than they are, you're better than they are
Bm A G
you're better than they are, and I can’t say it enough
