Verse 
          G                               A 
There’s a sadness in the heart now of the imitation zone 
      G                             A 
Don’t forget about your brothers if you go at it alone 
             G                           A                             G 
And I could almost take a whole life, to disclose how I feel about the now 
                   A 
Can’t give you an insightful conclusion 
      G                         A 
So if time is predicated on abstractions in a void 
        G                           A 
Do not subjugate yourself capitulating to the noise 
           G                                          A                         G 
If I could reach out through the screen and give you something to believe in, I would 
                    A 
But I’m with you in amongst the confusion 


Chorus 
      D          G 
It’s okay, don’t fear 
       A              Bm 
Go be part of the new sincere 
       D              G 
Do not let your heart go 
    A                 G 
To shit, enslaved to ephemera 


Post-Chorus 
G 


Verse 
     G                             A 
Our childhood is memory, still ascended high in dreams 
            G                              A 
And I’m suspending what I held for preconceptions of my being 
       G                              A                              G 
I only say this to affirm our time is short, but we’ve will to carry on 
                   A 
Transcend with our scars and confusions 
       G                         A 
I was furious and dumb, lighting fires through the town 
             G                           A 
I’d play the fiddle and forget whatever I was pissed about 
            G                               A                              G 
I know that most of you relates to some extent, and God, I know how lame it sounds 
                A 
But I’m glad I became more human 


Chorus 
D              G 
Stay, don’t go 
               A                              Bm 
We’re like halfway through the halftime show 
       D             G 
Do not let this one end 
   A             G 
Before you emerge as the winner

Verse 
          G                       A 
Hey, it’s me, I’m bringing you a case of Dry 
      Bm                           D                              G 
And words un-engendered fuck this, dumb city sleeps in the night 
                       A 
And I won’t leave you hanging in the wind 
          Bm                        D                               A 
So let me love with a vengeance my sad, sweet and unfinished friend 
                  Bm 
And we can go and mock the skyline now 
D                              G                                A 
Those bourgie windows full of dickheads we don’t know a thing about 
                Bm 
You wanna feel absolved tonight 
     D                                G                       A 
I’ve heard what you’re saying, it’s okay not to be so alright 


Bridge 
             Bm 
But don’t be alone 
      D                                 G 
Did I tell you that I spent most of my sister’s wedding stoned? 
             A                 Bm 
Say what you want with blood and bone 
            D                               G 
And stick a finger in their faces when they say you’re overblown 
           A               Bm 
Say yes to sun, say yes to pain, 
           D                              G 
say yes to sticking with a city through a thousand days of rain 
           A                Bm 
Say yes to grace, say no to spite 
           D                                G 
Say yes to this, say yes to you, say yes to me, say yes to love 
           D     C#m Bm G F#m G 
Say yes to life 
               D      C#m G F#m Em G 
Say, say yes to life
