Paradise Fears - Sanctuary Acoustic Chords

 [1st verse]

   Am                      F
So go ahead and lie to yourself,
                          G
And pretend that you’re a ray of light,
              G      G
When you’re a broken candle

Am                          F
You’re keeping time with yourself,
                             G
When did it all start moving way too fast,

For you to handle

[Pre-chorus]

       Am                  F
You’re short on breath but heavy on time,
   G                       Am        F
You lost the words but you found the rhyme,
    G
It’s all just poetry now

[Chorus]

    G         G
The walls are singing,
Am   F         G
Hallelujah amen,
    G         G
The walls are singing,
Am   F
Hallelujah amen


    C (32x)


[2nd verse]

Am            F
It’s so dark in the room,
                     G
And the ceilings are high,

You know the feeling,

You’ve been here before

Am                    F
And it’s a broken old pew,
                    G
And it’s an echoing cry,

Don’t sell yourself

[Pre-chorus]

Am                  F
Short on breath and heavy on time,
    G                        Am       F
You lost the words but you found the rhyme,
     G
It’s all just poetry now

[Chorus]

G
The walls are singing,
Am    F        G
Hallelujah amen,

The walls are singing,
Am    F        G
Hallelujah amen
[x2]

[Speech]

    Am                       F
See we don't really care who you are,

We've kinda got this
 G
Non-exclusive policy of determining
        Am
Exactly who we open up to
   F
And let into our families
     G
Then who becomes a part of our united mass of harmony
Am
And that's kinda become
     F
The thesis to this song
         G
Through suffering
G
Acceptance
G
Grief
G
And strife
          Am
There's no way that your puzzle piece
F
Fits into our puzzle wrong
      G
Cause everyone is welcome

On this stage that we call life
    C                            C
And we don't really care who you are
            C
Everyone is capable of looking up
    C
And wishing on a star
   C
So catch it so contagious
         C
This day dreamers disease
    C
And hope can be your sword
        C
Slaying darkness with belief
    C                    C
And we don't really care who you are,
                  C
Regardless of how lost you are returning from,
C
Regardless of how far,
        C
You can bring me all the worst
C
Of your broken bruised insane
      C
Cause that's the thing with music
        C
When it hits you fill no pain
   C
No matter what you did
  C
I promise we forgave it
                C
When all that's left is your voice
           C
You got no choice but to raise it
G
All you broken hearts

All you dejected dreams

Just let yourself be free

Because even broken wings

Can fly away


Am F G
Am F G


[Bridge]

      Am          F
Oh In time you’ll find,
     G
That life’s a painting and you’re the artist,
     Am        F
Just open your eyes,
     G
It’s never too late to clear your canvas

   Am
So paint me jealous,
F
Paint me rage,
    G                   Am  F
For God’s sake paint me anything,
G
Just paint,

Your brush awaits


[Outro]

Am    F        G
Hallelujah amen,

The walls sing you to sleep,
Am    F        G
Hallelujah amen,
                    Am        F          G
One secret meant to keep you safe tonight,
                  Am             F     G
I swear that everything will be alright
