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...-

C      C    F    F     C     C     F     F C    D     D

D   Dm     Em  Dm   C...

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

Outro:
C        E      F
This is why we fight
C        E     F
This is why we fight

-Doo..doo-doo-doo-doo...doo...doo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo...-
