Em Em Em Em


[Verse]

Em                 G                        D             Am
You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame 
Em                    G            D                 Am
You have to cross the line just to remember where it lays 
Em                  G             D                Am
You won't know your worth now son until you take a hit 
 Em                     G              D                Am
And you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it 


[Chorus]

              Em                       G
That's why we won't back down we won't run and hide 
            D                            Am
Yeah, cause these are the things that we can't deny 
            Em              G
I'm passing over you like a satellite
   D              C   D
So catch me if I fall 

              Em                           G
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lives
       D                         Am
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
           Em             G
We are the orphans of the american dreams 
    D                  C  D
Oh shine your light on me

[Verse]

Em                  G              D            Am
You can't fill your cup, until you empty all it has
Em                 G             D
You can't understand what lays ahead
                    Am        D
If you don't understand the past
Em                     G
You'll never learn to fly now
                   D          Am
Until you're standing at the cliff
Em                  G              D              C  D
And you can't truly love until you've given up on it

(Slide down)


[Chorus]

              Em                       G
That's why we won't back down we won't run and hide 
            D                            Am
Yeah, cause these are the things that we can't deny 
            Em              G
I'm passing over you like a satellite
   D              C  D
So catch me if I fall 

              Em                           G
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lives
       D                         Am
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
           Em             G
We are the orphans of the american dreams 
    D                  C  D
Oh shine your light on me 


[Bridge]

C                       D
   She told me that she never
                      C
Could face the world again 
                  D
So I offered up a plan 

Em
  We'll sneak out 
G
  While they sleep
D          Am        
  And sail off in the night
Em          
  We'll come clean
G             D
  And start over 
    Am            
The rest of our lives
Em           
  When we're gone 
G             D
  We'll stay gone
       Am
Out of sight
           Em 
Out of mind 
     G       D
It's not too late
            Am          
We have the rest of our lives

Em
  We'll sneak out 
G
  While they sleep
D          Am        
  And sail off in the night
Em          
  We'll come clean
G             D
  And start over 
    Am            
The rest of our lives
Em           
  When we're gone 
G             D
  We'll stay gone
       Am
Out of sight
           Em 
Out of mind 
     G       D
It's not too late
            Am          C  D
We have the rest of our lives 
                C  D
The rest of our lives 


[Chorus]

Em                                     
Because we won't back down we won't run and hide 
                                        
Yeah, cause these are the things that we can't deny 
            Em              G
I'm passing over you like a satellite
   D              C  D
So catch me if I fall 

              Em                           G
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lives
       D                         Am
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
           Em             G
We are the orphans of the american dreams 
    D                  C  D
Oh shine your light on me 

Em                          G
We won't back down we won't run and hide
            D                            Am
Yeah, cause these are the things that we can't deny
            Em              G
I'm passing over you like a satellite
       D                            
Cause' these are the things that we can't deny now 
C                                  D  Em
This is a life that you can't deny us now
