Intro: A    C#m  E   (3x, first time just synth, band comes in 2nd time) 

verse 1: 
A2 
Oh, when we were born, when we first arrived 
C#m2                      E2 
We took it all in through innocent eyes 
A2 
But we got jaded 'cause the beauty faded 
C#m2                       E2                            A 
So now we fake it in worlds built in the sky  
         C#m              No Chord   
But we keep coming up dry 

E5 I'm waking up to what's around me A5 I've lost too much to a fantasy E5 A5 I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by F#m Just getting by A C#m2 E2 Am I just getting by
verse 2: A2 Life can take a toll, everyday demands C#m2 E2 So much energy, so many mundane plans A2 So we go digital, purely physical C#m2 Hey, it's just medicinal No Chord We need to ease our minds
E5 I'm waking up to what's around me A5 I've lost too much to a fantasy E5 A5 I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by F#m Just getting by Am I just getting by
Bridge: C#m A I want to be all here now E B Wherever I am, that's where I'll be found C#m A Staying present even in the fear now E B Life with open eyes C#m Please don't pass me by A Life, don't pass me by E Life, don't pass me by B Feel a spark when we look each other in the eye
Riff: E5                             A5                      (2x)         2nd time only
