Am (G)
Am
[Verse 1]
(G)           Am
Sometimes I'm beaten
(G)           Am
Sometimes I'm broke
       (G/B)          C       F  (C/E)  (Dm)  (C)   C
'Cause sometimes this city is not-hing   but  smoke
(G)        Am
Is there a secret?
(G)        Am
Is there a code?
    (G/B)      C
Can we make it better?
       F   (C/E)  (Dm)  (C)
'Cause I'm losing hope
C  C/B
[Chorus]
Am                        C
Tell me how to be in this world
               F                      C
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
                   F            C
Tell me how 'cause I believe in something
F            C  C/B
I believe in us
[Break]
Am
[Verse 2]
(G)       Am
After the wreckage
(G)       Am
After the dust
  (G/B)          C          F     (C/E)  (Dm)  (C)   C
I still hear the howling, I still feel   the   rush
(G)      Am     (G)           Am
Over the riots, above all the noise
        (G/B)   C        F     (C/E)  (Dm)  (C)
Through all the worry, I still hear   your   voice
C  C/B
[Chorus]
Am                   (G/B) C
Tell me how to be in this  world
               F                      C
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
                   F            C
Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
F            C  C/B
I believe in us
Am                      (G/B) C
Tell me where the light goes  down
               F                        C
So even in the dark we can find our way out
                   F            C
Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
G            Am
I believe in us
G  Am
[Bridge]
F                                         F G
  We used to be kids living just for kicks
Am                                     Am G/B
  In cinema seats learning how to kiss
C
  Running through streets that were painted gold
G                                           F
  We never believed we'd grow up like this
[Chorus]
Am                   (G/B) C
Tell me how to be in this  world
               F                      C
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
                   F            C
Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
G            Am  G
I believe in us
F                            C
Tell me where the light goes down
               F                        Am
So even in the dark we can find our way out
                   F            C/E
Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
G            Am G
I believe in us
                   F            C/E
Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
    G            Am G
And I believe in us
