[B] [Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] In the suburbs [B] I,
[F#] you let it [A] dry
[D] And you told me we'd never [B] survive
[F#] Grab your [A] mother's keys, we're leaving
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] You all seemed [Bm] so sure
[F#] That [A] one day we'd fight [D] a disturbing [Bm] war
[F#] Your [A] father downed against mine
[D] I saw you standing on the [B] opposite [Bm]
shore
[F#] The [A] fire went down, the first bomb [D] fell
We were [Bm] already bored
[F#] We were [A] already, already [D] bored
Sometimes [Bm] I can't [F#] believe it
I'm [B] moving [E] past the feeling
[D] Sometimes [Bm] I can't believe [F#] it
I'm [E] moving past the feeling [D] again
[Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] Kids, you wanna be [D] so hard
[F#] And [A] the mountains whistle, screaming, [D] rolling through [Bm] the yard
[F#] And all [A] of the walls that we [D] built in the seventh is gonna [Bm] fall
[F#] And all [A] of the houses that built [D] in the seventies [Bm] finally fall
And nothing [F#] at all, meant nothing [A] at all, it meant [D] nothing
Sometimes [Bm] I can't [F#] believe it
I'm [E] moving past the feeling
[D] Sometimes [Bm] I can't believe [F#] it
I'm [E] moving past the feeling [D] into the [Bm] night
So [F#] [A]
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] can you [Bm] understand
[F#] I [A] want a daughter while I'm [D] still young
I [C#m] wanna hold her hand
[A] Show her some beauty [D] before all this damage [Bm] is done
[F#] [A] But if you see much to ask, [Bm] if you see much to ask
Send [F#] me a sign, [F#m]
[D] the river [Bm] overpass
[F#] When the [F#m] parking lot was still [D] wheeling, it's already [Bm] passed
[F#] So move [F#m] your feet from hot pavement [D] into the [Bm] grass
Cause it's already [F#] passed, it's [A] already, already passed
[D] Sometimes [Bm] I can't believe [F#] it
I'm moving [E] past the feeling
[D] Sometimes [Bm] I can't believe [F#] it
I'm moving [E] past the feeling [D] again
Past [Bm]
[F#] [E] the feeling
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [E] Past the feeling
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [F#m] [F#]
[D] And [Bm]
[F#] [F#m] all the things [F#] we're still screaming [D] and [Bm]
wondering
[F#] [F#m] [E] We're still [D] screaming
[Bm]
[F#] [A] We're still [D] screaming
[Bm] [F#] [A]
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [A]
