G#m     E                  C#m G#m
The animals break out their cages, now
G#m       E             C#m  G#m
Chaos is raining down around us
G#m           E                 C#m G#m
But here we stand with our arms folded
               G#m E     C#m G#m
Do you wanna be free of this?

When panic rises like the oceans
We just keep on flicking through the stations
'Cause if we don't post it doesn't happen
Oh I wanna be free of this

             E              F#     G#m
Have you and I been sleepwalking way too long?
               E             F#  G#m
Won't someone pour ice water on me?

Chorus:
         F#            B    E
It only matters if we care now,
           F#          G#m
If you're way beyond that
     E                  C#m          G#m
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders
         F#             B     E
And I remember when we cared now,
          F#          G#m
If you're way beyond that
     E                  C#m         G#m           F#
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders, my shoulders

Movies and news on television
Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference, oh
When real life's more fucked up than fiction
Do you wanna be free of this?

Have you and I been sleepwalking way too long?
Won't someone pour ice water on me?

Chorus:
It only matters if we care now, if you're way beyond that
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders
And I remember when we cared now, if you're way beyond that
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders

         F#         B             F#
I don't wanna play dumb, dumb anymore
                   G#m               E
I just wanna feel something, like before
                    B             F#
I don't wanna feel numb, numb anymore
              G#m               E  F#
I just wanna something, like before

Chorus:
It only matters if we care now, if you're way beyond that
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders
And I remember when we cared now, if you're way beyond that
Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders, my shoulders
