                         Bm   Em*    Am       G   D* 
We built this place with high hopes, blood on our hands, 
  Em    G      Bm       D*    Em      D       C* 
A giant on our shoulders, and maps of unfound land, 
                   Bm  Em*         Am       G       D* 
God would give his blessings, in a language I don't speak, 
  Em       D       Bm    D*    Em    D       C* 
A blessing for the waking, the tired and the weak, 
N.C.           Bm  D*             Em    D      Cmaj7* 
A promise of a new day, born with every little seed, 
C   Am      G       D                     Em   D      Am 
And gardens growing over, with snow white baby thimbleweed.

                     Bm Em*             Am   G    D* 
Then came the first eruptions, and everybody was amazed, 
  Em      G       Bm   D*                Em       D   C* 
A triumph for the structure, and all the memories it erased, 
                   Bm  Em*             Am    G        D* 
But structures are forever, and do not care about the mind, 
   Em    G        Bm  D*      Em      D         C* 
We hid behind our eyelids, in fear of what we'd find, 
N.C.             Bm  D             Em    D     C* 
Now everyone was sleeping, heavier than ever before, 
C  Am     G        D                    Em    D      C 
As broken vows and dead dreams, washed upon a silver shore.

                   Bm Em*         Am    G         D* 
I sat there by the window, as the hours turned to years, 
    Em    G       Bm D*                  Em        D      C* 
And never gave up hoping, there would be something for me here, 
    G            Bm Em*         G        D     C* 
Now everyone was waiting, for a day that never came, 
    G            Em   D*        Em        D        C* 
And wherever the wind blew, the sky would stay the same.
