Intro: Bm D Em G F# (3x)
Bm D
As I stare into these ruins made by man
Em G
I tremble as I realize it's the end
Bm D
More and more I wonder what we could have done
Em G
But instead we wage a war that can't be won
Bm F#
Yeah instead we wage a war that can't be won
Bm D
I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved
Em
Memories of a broken heart
G F#
Now I'm alone in the dark.
Bm D
I know there's a way out when all hope is gone
Em
Find your light in a new dawn
G Bm D Em G F#
But there's no way to do this on our own.
(Don't play here)
I search for solace in this waste
That I once called home
But my attempts of piecing life together leaves me alone
I can't repair what's been done
When the sky is as black as the ground that I walk on
Bm D
But I can't give up on this
Em
I have to wonder what we could have done
G F#
I have to wonder
Bm D
But instead we wage a war that can't be won

But instead we wage a war that can't be won
Bm D
I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved
