 D#  
I can't blame you, and I can't save you
            Cm
But I will try
                           D#  
For you and I, for you and I-
won't find out all the dirty little
things that you've done
             Cm
But I will try I, I

                    D#  
I'm coming for you giants
and you liars and your chariots of fire
You charmers with your anecdotes have
                      Cm
started to show your true colors

Chorus:
             G#
And now I'm staring at the moon
                              A#
wondering why the bottom fell out
                   Gm
Been searching for answers and
                        G#
there's questions I've found
                                          A#
Open your eyes and share this burden somehow
                  Gm                           Cm
Are you ready to drink or are you waiting to drown?

I would break you before
I let you fall into the blind
For you and I, for you and I
I will breathe in all the truth I can stomach
If it keeps you alive
I, I

We've changed the dreamers and the preachers and the wise men on the hill
To concrete stepping smilers terrified to lose their power and control
Yeah, we've been crying for a leader to speak like the old prophets
The blood of the forgotten wasn't spilled without a purpose, or was it?

Chorus

C                          Em                        D#
Yeah, you'll never be whole, yeah, you'll never be whole
Until you lose control
G#                   D#
And think freely to smash the wall of apathy
  Dm7-5                        G                                 C
Stop your self-importance and lift the weight off somebody else

Yeah, you'll never be whole, yeah, you'll never be whole
Until you lose control
And stop drinking the wine that's been dripping
From lips of the gluttons and envying their bloody teeth

Yeah, you'll never be whole, yeah, you'll never be whole
Until you lose control
