[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Em][G][C]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Blinded by a fear of feeling,
these [C]are the kings we chose
[Em]Lost and looking for the meaning,
I've been [C]searching high and low
[Em]When we fade into nothing,
when we [C]go up in the smoke
[Em]We'll beg God for a mercy that He know[C]s we'd never

[Em]

[Verse 2]
On a canvas [Em]we stained with blood
and [D]painted with our sins
[Am]There's a [D]candle [Am]melti[D]ng and
[Am]it's [C]burning at both ends
[Em]We'll take and take 'til it caves
and drowns us [D]in the wax, it drips
[Am]Like a moth to a flame,
you never [C]should've fucking lit

[Verse 3]
You [C]can give sight to the blind
But you can't [Am]force them [D]to see[Am]
You could [C]take us back in time
[Em]But it w[Am]ouldn't change a t[Em]hing

[Verse 4]
If [Em]God came down from His kingdom
He [D]came down from His home
And we [Am]asked Him if He'd take [C]us [Am]back
[C]He would surely tell us no
If God [Em]came down from His kingdom
[D]He came down from his throne
And we [Am]asked Him if He'd take [C]us back

[Interlude 2]
He would tell us we can't go
[C][Em][C][D][Em]
[D][Em]

[Verse 5]
To a rat in a [Em]maze,
the end is [D]where the start begins
[Am]But if we made it out,
I know that we would [C]do it all again
[Em]We live and die in vain like
treasure [D]on a sinking ship
[Am]All in the name of a God,
we'd just abandon an[D]d f[Em]orget

[Verse 6]
If [Em]God came down from His kingdom
He [D]came down from His home
And we [Am]asked Him if He'd take us back
He [C]would surely tell us no
If [Em]God came down from His kingdom
He [D]came down from his throne
And we [Am]asked Him if He'd take us back
[C]He would tell us we can't [Em]go
[C]We're dyi[Em]ng every day

[Verse 7]
Tell me, is it all in vain?
Is it worth the suffering?

[Verse 8]
Is it worth the price we paid?
[Em]
Is it worth it?
Yeah

[Verse 9]
[Em]Give sight to the blind
[C]But you can[Am] 't force them to see
You could [C]take us back in time
But it [Am]wouldn't change [Em]a thing

[Verse 10]
If [Em]God came down from His kingdom
He [D]came down from His home
And we [Am]asked Him if
He'd take us back
He would [D]surely [Am]tell [C]us no
[Em]If God came down from His kingdom
He [D]came down from his throne
And we [Am]asked Him if He'd
take us back
He would [C]tell us we can't go

[Verse 11]
[Em]Blinded by a fear of feeling,
these [D]are the kings we chose
[Am]Lost and looking for the meaning,
I've been [C]searching high and low
[Em]When we fade into nothing,
when we [D]go up in the smoke
[Am]We'll beg God for a mercy that He [C]knows
we'd never show
[Em][D]

[Verse 12]
[Em]
You can give sight to the blind
But you can't force them to see
You could take us back in time
But it wouldn't change a fucking
