verse 1 

       C#m      B 
Settle down, be still 
      C#m           B 
It is all a test of will 
        C#m           B                 A 
We just need a little time to find some shelter, 
   A                   C#m     B 
To hide a while in the story’s fine 
           C#m                  B 
You’ve got yours, well I’ve got mine 
             C#m            B 
They’re just markers on the map to find 
    A                  A              E 
The truth that’s lying in the middle 



             C#m 
It’s easy to rage 
             B 
It’s easy to blame 
             A                      E 
It’s easy to crumble and curse your name 
                 C#m 
But I owe you my life 
                B 
I’ll swallow my pride 
                     A             
’Cause I was the the architect of half of the ruin 


Interlude

verse 2 

        C#m            B 
All the hurt and angry men 
         C#m             B 
Play the victim till the end 
      C#m            B 
Never easing their defenses 
       A                A                E 
Well I won’t be them, I won’t be bitter 


             C#m 
It’s easy to rage 
             B 
It’s easy to blame 
             A           A          E 
It’s easy to crumble and curse your name 
                 C#m 
But I owe you my life 
                B 
I’ll swallow my pride 
       A                            
’Cause part of me always knew just what I was doing 
A                              E 
Architect of half of the ruin 


Bridge

          E                   B 
I want to see this through my eyes 
            B            A 
A year from now or maybe five 
           A              B 
A shortcut forward to the day 
            B 
It’s just a memory of change
