[Intro]
C#m7  F#m7  B7  E  x4
[Verse]
C#m7
I heard this old story before if the
F#m7
people keep killing for the metaphores
B7                         E
don't leave much up to the imagination so I
C#m7
wanna give this imagery back but I
F#m7
know it just ain't so easy like that so
B7                               E
I turn the page I read the story again and again and again.
[Pre-chorus]
A7
sure seems the same
F#m7
with a different name
B7
we're breaking and rebuilding and we're growing always gussing never
[Chorus]
C#m7   F#m7
Know - ing
      B7                 E
we're shocking but we're nothing, we're just
C#m7 F#m7
mo - ments
      B7               E
we're clever but we're clueless we're just
C#m7 F#m7
Hu - man
B7          E
amusing and confusing
C#m7  F#m7
try - ing
B7                    E
but where is this all leading
C#m7
We'll never know
F#m7
We'll never know
B7
We'll never know
E
It all happened so much
[Verse]
C#m7
faster than you could say disaster
      F#m7
wanna take a time lapse and take a look at backwards
          B7
from the last one,
                        E
or maybe thats just the answer that we're after
          C#m7
but after all we're just a bubble in a boiling pot
           F#m7
we're just warm breath and a chain of thought
B7
moments just combusting
     E
feel certain but we'll never never know
[Pre-chorus]
A7
sure seems the same
F#m7
give it a different name
B7
we're begging and we're needing and we're trying and we're breathing never
[Chorus]
C#m7   F#m7
Knowing
      B7                 E
we're shocking but we're nothing
           C#m7   F#m7
We're just moments
      B7               E
we're clever but we're clueless we're just
C#m7  F#m7
humane
B7           E
amusing and confusing
C#m7      F#m7
We're Hellbent
    B7                 E
but where is this all going
             C#m7
we'll never know
            F#m7
we'll never know
            B7
we'll never know
E
[Verse]
C#m7
knock knock on the door to door
F#m7
tell you that the metaphore is better than yours
B7
and you can either sink or swim
E
things are looking pretty grim
   C#m7                                    F#m7
if you don't believe in what they're spoon feeding
            B7
It's got no feeling
              E
so I read it again and again and again
[Pre-chorus]
A7
  sure seems the same
F#m7
  so many different names
B7
are hearts are strong our heads are weak we'll always be competing never
[Chorus]
C#m7   F#m7
Knowing
      B7                  E
we're shocking but we're nothing
           C#m7   F#m7
we're just moments
      B7                E
we're clever but we're clueless
           C#m7 F#m7
we're just human
B7             E
amusing and confusing
        C#m7 F#m7
but the truth is
B7            E
All we got is questions
            C#m7
we'll never know
      F#m7
never know
      B7
never know
      E
