B             F#
Are we growing up? Or just going down,
            G#m                             E  G#m   F#
it's just a matter of time until we're all found out.
    B           F#
Take our tears, put them on ice,
G#m
'cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light.

Verse 1
          G#m     E         F#     B
We're the therapists, pumping through your speakers,
G#m      E          F#    B
delivering just what you need.
G#m    E          F#    B
We're well-read and poised,
          G#m     E F# B
we're the best boys.
          G#m    E     F#    B
We're the chemists, who found the formula,
G#m         E          F#     B
to make your heart swell and burst.
G#m    E          F#    B
No matter what they say,
     G#m      E    F# B
don't believe a word.
    G#m                        E
'Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll
F#         B
keep believing it.
G#m                       E
I’ll keep singing this lie…
F#
I’ll keep singing this lie

Verse 2

G#m    E           F#          B
We traveled, like gypsies, only
G#m     E         F#           B
with worse luck and far less gold.
G#m     E              F#     B
We're the kids you used to love
 G#m     E        F# B
but then we grew old.
G#m     E      F#    B
We're the lifers here 'til the bitter end
G#m   E          F#    B
condemned from the start.
G#m   E          F#    B
Ashamed of the way the songs
G#m     E        F#     B
and the words own the beating of our hearts.

G#m                     E
'Cause I’ll keep singing this lie…
F#
I’ll keep singing this lie

          B           F#         G#m          E
There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
B        F#          G#m     E    G#m      F#
And another around to help us bend your trust.
B           F#         G#m   E
I've got a sunset in my veins
B               F#               G#m                E
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay.

B
The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie",
B
I hope you sing along and you steal a line.
B
I need to keep you like this in my mind
G#m           F#
so give in or just give up.
