[E] [G#m] [B] [E] [D#]
[C#m] [F#m]
[E] [B]
[C#m] [A]
[E] [B] I feel it [C#m] when my dreams feel right [F#m] into my soul
Feel it [E] in my heart when my blood [B] runs cold
See it [C#m] in the night time, [F#m] always in the rain
Hear it [E] in the thunder and light [B] time, night
Take me to [C#m] my memory, take me [F#m] to the start
Coming [E] through the window, [B] tearing me apart
Feel it [C#m] in the nightmare, [F#m] always in the rain
See it [E] in the memory, coming [B] back again and I'm [A] always there
The only thing that [B] ever made [C#m] sense
Is [B] when I can feel [A] it
The only thing [E] that [B] ever made [C#m] sense
Is [B] just to carry and concede [A] it all
Just know that [B] I tried [C#m] my best
And [B] the only way that I [A] knew how
And I'm still doing [G#] it now, yeah
[B] I'm still doing [C#m] it now
[F#m] I'm
[E] [B] still doing [C#m] it now
[F#m]
[E] [B] I'm still doing [C#m] it now
[F#m]
[E] [B] I'm still doing [C#m] it [F#m] now
[E] [B] Get me to the stage [C#m] now, put us [F#m] in the light
Make it [E] feel real and make it [B] feel right
Floating [C#m] on the concrete, [F#m] flying in the sky
I think we [E] found the bloodstream [B] of our life
[F#] Lay me [C#m] in the party cup, put me [F#m] in the mix
Make it [E] like it used to, make it [B] our fit
A reeling [C#m] with the old days, covered [F#m] in light
I wanna [E] feel closer, I [B] wanna feel alive
And I [A] always try
The only thing that [B] ever made [C#m] sense
[B] Is when I can feel [A] it
The only thing [Em] that [B] ever made [C#m] sense
Is [B] just to carry and concede [A] it all
Just know that [B] I tried [C#m] my best
[B] The only way that I [A] knew how
And I'm still doing [G#] it now, yeah
[B] I'm still doing [C#m] it now, [F#m]
[E] yeah
[B] And I'm still doing [C#m] it now
[F#m]
[E] [B] And I'm still doing [C#m] it now
[F#m] [E] Right now
[B] And I'm still doing [C#m] it now, [F#m] yeah
I'm [E] still doing it, still [B] doing it
I'm still doing [E] it now
When we were first starting the band we were like let's just start a band and make some songs and there wasn't in the very [C#m] beginning
[B] There wasn't like a very [E]
specific goal
It was just like like [B] that's just you know what we want to [C#m] do and it was fun
And then over [E] the years like it's evolved [B] and it just it kind of took on [C#m] this life of its own
But I'll say we're blessed just to be around all these places.
We're playing in a basement in Arlington, Virginia
Next thing [F#m] you know we're flying to Brazil to play this show for
[B] 5,000 people or something it's not as glamorous as some people think you [E] know
There's a lot of traveling and [B] airplanes and early lobby [C#m] calls and stuff so we do [B] suffer from lack of sleep sometimes
But we're super lucky, and we just have a small [C#m] part of the day that we have to work
[F#] You're saving everything [C#m]
for that moment those two hours [B] on stage you step on stage, [C#m] and it's all [F#m] worth it man
I [Bm] [B]
[F#] think it's [E] just being far from home
[B] Nothing does like the part [C#m] every night that we [F#] perform [E] you look out and you see the audience
[B] and you get reminded [C#m] of [F#] why you
Spend your [C#m] life in airports [B] and tour buses and hotels
Why you miss so many things at [C#m] home with families in this [C#] birthdays and [B] babies and holidays and
[E] Weddings we hear it all the time from fans who say like [C#m] oh my gosh
You know your music changed my life, or [F#m] when I heard this [E] song.
I was going through a hard [B] situation
sickness [C#m] or something anything like just having something [F#m] positive to [E] feed off and [B] get you through that like
[D#] Like if [F#m] we have the opportunity to do that from someone [E] from our songs or [B] from our shows
You know that definitely [C#m] what makes it makes it worth it, and that's what keeps [E] us going
I think [B] and you start to wonder why it is that you
[C#m] [F#m] Still do this and [E] maybe you know go take a year off [B] or go take two years off
Slow [F#m] down for a second you look at me see the audience and
[E] They remind [B] you so as to why you know you [C#m] spend all this time there
So those are kind of the [F#m] moments in my life that make [E] me [B] galvanized to
Doing this [F#m] forever.
It's been a long road, and we're still [E] at it and still [B] try
