Do do do doooo
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Come on my little ruin won?t you open up and let us in?
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Time has not been kind but you're still standing here
G Bm
Leave a light on in your window, won?t you let me see a sign?
G Bm
It?s gonna take more than smoke and mirrors now for me this time
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Come on, my little sorrow, won?t you sing yourself a different song?
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
The melody that made you is now a worn-out sing-along
G Bm
Everybody?s looking at you, but I can?t stand to watch
G Bm
I?ve seen this scene come and go too much
A Em7 A
And oh, how you struggle through the hours, way-yeah-eah
A Em7 A
your sorrow leading the way, hay-yeah-eah
A Em7 G
And as you stood there among the cowards... you were letting them win
Bm A G
But I?m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up
Bm A G
no I?m not, cause you're better than they are and I can?t say it enough...
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
that?s enough 'what are you doing?'
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Come on my little ruin won?t you build yourself back up again?
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Won?t you take the time you were given, you promised it to yourself
G Bm
You could stand among the best of them if you could hold your own
G Bm
But no-one's gonna do it for you now, but you and you alone
A Em7 A
And oh, how you struggle with your power, way-yeah-eah
A Em7 A
And keep your back tight to the wall, hay-yeah-eah
A Em7 G
And as you were counted among the cowards ...they didn?t see you at all
Bm A G
Now you're caught on a rising wave, and I can?t get you off
Bm A G
But I?m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up
Bm A
No, I?m not, cause you're better than they are, you're better than they are
G
You're better than they are, you're better than they are
Bm A G
you're better than they are, and I can?t say it enough
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
that?s enough 'what are you do-------ing?'
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
'what are you do-------ing?'
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Come on my little ruin won?t you tell me where the feeling?s gone?
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
There's nothing lost between us, you can come back anytime you want
