Verse 1:

D          A               Bm
   what we see it makes no sense
D            A             Bm
   why do we constantly believe?
D          A                   Bm
   we have crumbled within our borders
D                 A              Bm
   and i'm afraid help is out of reach


Chorus:

G                    A                  Bm            
   they've taken our voices and they've locked them out 
G             A                  Bm
   with paper chains i'd like to burn
G               A         Bm 
  i cannot even enjoy a sunset
G           A               Bm
   when our world is on the verge

Verse 2: (D/A A Bm)

   all this weight has got my head hung low
   a certain pride that gives the air
   i dont wanna be another disciple
   as they sit in their liars chair

Chorus: (G A Bm)

   information has been bottled up
   in the news i never heard
   i cannot even sleep under the shining stars
   when our world is on the verge

   when our world is on the verge
