Here we are at the end of the road
E                    B
A road that's quietly caving in (caving in)

Come to far to pretend that we don't

We don't miss where we started (started)

Pre chorus:
C#m            A
Looking back I see a setting sun
E                             B
Watch my shadow fade into the floor (floor)
C#m        A
I am left standing on the edge
E                         B                      A
Wondering how we got this far (how we got this far)

The kids in the dark

To burn out forever or light out the spark

We come together state of the art

We'll never surrender

The kids in the dark so let the world sing
C#m          A
What a shame what a shame
E                  B
Beautiful scars on critical veins

A hill that's quietly crumbling 
C#m                    A
Been a while since you dressed for the kill
    E                 B
The kill that sent me tumbling
