[Verse 1]

      D
Well sing it up on a mountain if 
you've had it to here with this 
place
       Bm
These voices are candles these 
fingers are scarce we'll be the 
judges
                               G
of who are the damned and the saved
That promise of perdition, it's not 
           D
coming back

[Verse 2]

   D
I sing all these songs for my best 
friends
D
Feel this life for all that it's 
worth
      Bm
We've got to get a move on tonight
Cause our flesh will perish the 
                         G
ember will move on this earth
Don't ask for second chances cause 
                D
you'll come up flat
     Bm                            
Our shoulders to the well we'll 
      A
take it back

[Chorus]

D                   A
Recreate them cause I don't wanna 
live in the
Bm                           G
shackles of the shepherd anymore
Continúa después del anuncio
D                  A
It's isolating to know we die alone
     Bm                            
The truth is always there to warm 
   G
my heart
A
What else do you need?

[Verse]

     D
You toss all your guilt to the fire
N.C.
with that [unknown] membership card
    Bm
It marked your confirmation
And rendered you bonds with the 
                             G
church that kept you in the dark
As we watched the ashes smolder I 
      D
felt proud
            Bm                     
As we waved goodbye to the past 
            A
that tore us down

[Chorus]

D                   A
Recreate them cause I don't wanna 
live in the
Bm                       G
shadow of the valley anymore
D                  A
It's isolating to know we die alone
     Bm                            
The truth is always there to warm 
   G
my heart
A
What else do you need?

[Interlude]

Bm A G (x2)

[Bridge]

Bm                                
Try to steal small voices from the
  A
 fathers from the lot
             G
Cause we're dying to believe (we're 
dying to believe)
Bm
Mount on the wings like eagles
             A
Carve these words into a rock
   G
Oh I will not believe (I will not 
believe)

[Chorus]

D                   A
Recreate them cause I don't wanna 
live in the
Bm                     G
ashes of the alter anymore
D                  A
It's isolating to know we die alone
     Bm                            
The truth is always there to warm 
   G
my heart
A
What else do you need?
