With our eyes wide open we... - x2 -
Dm F Bb - same goes through the Verses -
So this is the end of the story
Everything we had, everything we did
Is buried in dust
And this dust is all that's left of us
And only a few ever worried
Dm
While the signs will clear
F
They have no idea
Bb
You just get used to living in fear
Dm
Or give up

Some people offered up answers
We made out like we heard
They were only words
They didn't add up
To a change in the way we were living
And the saddest thing
Is all of it could have been avoided
But it was like to stop consuming's
to stop being human
And why'd I make a change if you won't?
We're all in the same boat
Staying afloat for the moment
