Foundations

	  		 
    A        G        F 
"Is everybody coming undone?" 
                    A 
She asks me with a straight face 
                   G                F 
and sometimes its hard to tell the truth 
            A          G                          F 
when all I know all I know is that we're all just trying to stay afloat 
A                    G                       F 
  That's the way it is, that's just the way it is 


A F C G 

                          A 
It feels like I've got to get away 
                         F 
like there's got to be a better way 
                     C 
because when you've got to get out 
               G 
you've got to get out 
                                                                                    A     
                    F                          C 
Promises where I swear that I am fine are getting harder to keep 
                            G        A 
they're getting harder to believe 
                                                                            F             
                   C 
  I should be old enough by now 
                       G                     A 
to stop pulling at my hair and tearing at my skin 
                  F    C 
but we're so young 
                    G 
It feels like we're so young 

Chorus 

                 A 
The cranes hang quietly tonight 
                                C 
as if to remind us that this is home 
                        G 
and that this is how we live now 
                        A 
with no back up plan or way out 
                       F 
From here I can see it all 

every false step that I made 
                      A 
and how I let it chip away at the foundations 
          G                       A 
that I am set upon, as I stood by again 
C             G               F 
   But we are nothing without resilience 

C                     G                  F 
   because we are all tied up in our own ways 
C                G              F 
   Worst come to worst, failing everything 
                      C 
we pick up the broken pieces 
             G                 F 
and put them all back together again
