Another couple kids with their heads on top 
C#5                                    C#sus4 
Just another stranger just another plot 
 B5                                           Bsus4 
Another track home where the city streets stop

Just another rust and dust facade 
C#5                                      C#sus4 
Just another key stuck broken in the lock

Just another scarecrow choking on a cough

Don't believe the system's on your side 
C#5                                  C#sus4 
Just another lover turned enemy fight 
C#5                                C#sus4 
Just another blood and nicotine sky 

Oh come on!

Bridge:
 
A 
 Hear our voices rise

   We've been under the curse 
A 
 With our arms raised high 
B 
 Hear us sing tonight 
C#m 
   Like the last night on earth 
A          B             C#m 
 We will rise like the tide 
             E 
Like dead men 

Coming back to life 
A              B 
 We are rising, rising

C#5                                                 C#sus4 
Just because you're present doesn't mean you're here

 A curse this broken
