G#               D#          C#       G#
Some says your dreams are a distant road
      C#        G#                  D#
Down which our hearts would like to go
    Fm     Cm       C#        G#
But I have always stayed in place
C#               G#              D#
Under that old illusion that is safe

You said the ship in port is the safer one
But it's not the reason it was made
So forgive me if I wander off
And forgive me more if I just stay

Chorus:
                          Cm       C#
Sing another song for the lost ones
                               Fm  D#
We're the ones who need it the most
                          Cm       C#
Every time you run it'll cost ya'
But it doesn't stop us runnin'

If a coward dies a thousand times
Then there's a graveyard in my head
Cause it took me years to say the words
That you did not even need said

Sing another song for the lost ones
We're the ones that need it the most
Nothin' that you fear is forgotten
It follows you around like

G#              D#           G#       Fm
Then everything danced to a stranger tune
G#                D#           G#       C#
And we found our song and we found our truth
G#   D#          G#                       Fm
And now that we know it's that we always knew
G#               D#             G#     C#
Farewell to the chains we were born into

           G#              D#           G#
And as we danced among the ashes of our arms
              Fm
We laughed it off
             G#              D#               G#
And then we burned our tiny world to find the ocean
       C#                    G#
Just beyond those paper walls
