[Intro]
F C

C                                G
You say life is a dream where we can't say what we mean
Am              G              F
Maybe just some roadside scene that we're driving past
C                                      G
There's no telling where we'll be in a day or in a week
C              G                 F
And there's no promises of peace or of happiness

C                             G
Well is this why you cling to every little thing
Am                G                 F
And polverize and derrange all your senses
      C                         G
Maybe life is a song but you're scared to sing along
C         G    F
Until the very ending

G        Am          G           F                C
Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know
Am         G                    F
Ideas that strengthen who we've been
Am               G               F             C
It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds
Am              G                         F
From the chains and shackles that they're in

G                        C
Oh, tell me what good is saying that you're free
      G
In a dark and storming sea
Am                     G               F
You're chained to your history, you're surely sinking fast
C                              G
You say that you know that the good Lord's in control
C                    G                   F
He's gonna bless and keep your tired and oh so restless soul
           C                         G
But at the end of the day when every price has been paid
Am                        G             F
You're gonna rise and sit beside him on some old seat of gold
    C                                   G
And won't you tell me why you live like you're afraid to die
C               G                F
You'll die like you're afraid to go

G        Am          G           F                C
Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know
Am              G                F
Ideas that strengthen who we've been
Am               G               F             C
It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds
Am                   G                    F
From the chains and shackles that they're in
Am                  G                     F
From the chains and shackles that they're in

     C                                G
Well life is a dream 'cause we're all walking in our sleep
Am               G                   F
You could see us stand in lines like we're dead upon our feet
       C                                    G
And we build our house of cards and then we wait for it to fall
C                  G                    F           C
Always forget how strange it is just to be alive at all
