| But do we really want to | play? |
| G6 | Am | |
| We could | close our eyes it's still | there |
| G6 | Am | |

| Gravity has got a | hold on us | all |
| Bridge |
| Em | |
| We try to put it | out |
| Dm | |
| But it's a growing | flame |

| Using fear as | fuel |

| Em | |
| And who we gunna blame | now? |
