Verse 1:
Am
Your stitches are all out
D
But your scars are healing wrong
Am D
The helium balloon inside your room has come undone
C G
And it's pushing up at the ceiling
Am E
And the flickering lights it cannot get beyond
Interlude: F Dm F Dm
Am C
Everyone takes turns
D D
Now it's yours to play the part
Am C
And they're sitting all around you
D D
Holding copies of your chart
C G
And the misery inside their eyes is
Am E
Synchronized and reflecting into yours
Interlude: F Dm F Dm
Chorus:
C E
Hold on!
Am F
One more time with feeling
C E Am F
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm
C E Am F
Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right
Dm F Dm F
This is why we fight
-Doo..doo-doo-doo-doo...doo...doo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo...-

Verse 2:
-Same as first Verse/Chorus for second Verse/Chorus-
Am C
You thought by now you'd be
D D
So much better than you are
Am C
You thought by now they'd see
D D
That you have come so far
C G
And the pride inside their eyes
Am E
Would synchronize into a love you've never known
F Dm F Dm
So much more than you've been shown
Chorus:
C E
Hold on!
Am F
One more time with feeling
C E Am F
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm
C E Am F
Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right
