[Intro]
F#m C#m Bm C#m A C#m (2x)
 
[Verse 1]
 
F#m           C#m
  You are our secret
Bm           C#m
  It's worth keeping
A             C#m        F#m
  And now I'm keeping my mouth shut
C#m      Bm
  On the weekends
C#m       A             C#m     F#m
  I won't hang out with anybody else
    C#m     Bm       C#m
The pavement, always baking
A           C#m          F#m
  What's it want from me?
      C#m              Bm
And I keep falling backwards
        C#m        A
Looking for relief
C#m       Bm
Oh, to be free
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
          Bm
I've been counting all the minutes
        N.C.
And the days have been counting me
 
[Chorus]
F#m C#m Bm          C#m             A  C#m
          I want to live my life again
          F#m C#m Bm
But you won't
           C#m              A   C#m
I'll never understand the winds
          F#m C#m Bm
But you do
         C#m           A   C#m
I didn't know I was afraid
           F#m C#m Bm
But you did
          C#m    A    C#m
I want to do it again
 
[Verse 2]
               F#m      C#m
Well I've been sleeping
Bm            C#m       A
  Waiting for something
C#m         F#m     C#m
But to feel nothing
   Bm    C#m           A
At all, avoid the call
    C#m           F#m  C#m
Sometimes I'm reckless
    Bm         C#m    A
Sometimes misdirected
      C#m            F#m  C#m
Sometimes when I'm tested
  Bm         C#m        A   C#m
I tend to do nothing at all
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
            Bm
When I'm alone
          Bm
There's a ghost that keeps talking
                            N.C.
And I know there's gotta be more, for sure
 
[Chorus]
F#m C#m Bm          C#m             A  C#m
          I want to live my life again
          F#m C#m Bm
But you won't
           C#m              A   C#m
I'll never understand the winds
          F#m C#m Bm
But you do
         C#m           A   C#m
I didn't know I was afraid
           F#m C#m Bm
But you did
          C#m    A    C#m
I want to do it again
 
[Bridge]
 
C#m D E F#m A C#m
 
          D                         E   F#m
I've been numbing my thoughts for hours
           A          C#m             D
I know you wanted to save me from myself
           E                       F#m
We've been wilting and young for seeds
     A          C#m
And I can't compete
  D                       E
Until I'm strung to the field
       N.C.
What's real?
 
[Chorus]
F#m C#m Bm          C#m             A  C#m
          I want to live my life again
          F#m C#m Bm
But you won't
           C#m              A   C#m
I'll never understand the winds
          F#m C#m Bm
But you do
         C#m           A   C#m
I didn't know I was afraid
           F#m C#m Bm
But you did
          C#m    A    C#m
I want to do it again
 
[Outro]
 
F#m C#m Bm C#m A C#m (2x)
 
F#m  C#m Bm         C#m A   C#m
Do you want to live forever?
F#m  C#m Bm         C#m A   C#m
Do you want to live forever?
    F#m C#m Bm C#m A C#m
(Oh oooh)-- I -- would
F#m
