[VERSE 1]
When we were [C]young we knew everything strength from our innocence

Taught us to paint with our words
As we grow [Am]tired and jaded the [G]colors are faded
[F]Fire will no longer burn
All of the [C]anger and hunger that shapes our desires

Hanging to hope by a string
Never had [Am]thoughts of the future knew [G]we'd never get there
[F]We are the kings of our dreams

[PRE-CHORUS]
[Am]All the best laid [G]plans
Slipped [F]through my hands

[CHORUS]
You know we can [C]run 'til the day that we're dead
Or stay here and [Em]fight and pretend we're no[F]t scared
[Am]Can we make it ba[G]ck to the heroes w[F]e were?
'Cause we can [C]scream 'til the world has gone deaf
Fall on our [Em]knees if that's all we've go[F]t left
[Am]Can we make it ba[G]ck to the heroes w[F]e were?

[POST-CHORUS]
[C] Can we [C] save this
[Am] And bring us [Am]back to the [G]heroes we [F]were?
Can we [F] save this
[G] And bring us [Am]back to the [C/B]heroes we [C]were?

[VERSE 2]
[C]Empires have fallen and joy can be stolen

When things are much worse than you think (Worse than you think)
The [Am]streets are left broken, a [G]memory holding
[F]Onto the songs that we sing
We [C]started with something but ended with nothing

Losing but praying to win (Praying to win)
Let [Am]go as we're falling I [G]can't hear them calling
[F]Give in to all of our sins

[PRE-CHORUS]
[Am]All the best laid [G]plans
Slipped [F]through my hands

[CHORUS]
You know we can [C]run 'til the day that we're dead
Or stay here and [Em]fight and pretend we're no[F]t scared
[Am]Can we make it ba[G]ck to the heroes w[F]e were?
'Cause we can [C]scream 'til the world has gone deaf
Fall on our [Em]knees if that's all we've go[F]t left
[Am]Can we make it ba[G]ck to the heroes w[F]e were?

[POST-CHORUS]
[C] Can we [C] save this
[Am] And bring us [Am]back to the [G]heroes we [F]were?
Can we [F] save this
[G] And bring us [Am]back to the [C/B]heroes we [F]were?

[BRIDGE]

When the future's ending
[G] They will bleed you empty
[Am]Don't let me down, [C/B]don't let me down
[C]Don't let me down
[F] Yeah, we can make it back there
[G] The home we had is nowhere
[Am]Turn it around, [C/B]turn it around
[C]Turn it aro[F]und

[VERSE 3]
[C]No one can find us when time has escaped us

How did we fall through the cracks?
It's [Am]empty out here where the [G]world disappears
[F]One day we'll find our way back

[CHORUS]
You know we can [C]run 'til the day that we're dead
Or stay here and [Em]fight and pretend we're no[F]t scared
[Am]Can we make it ba[G]ck to the heroes w[F]e were?
'Cause we can [C]scream 'til the world has gone deaf
Fall on our [Em]knees if that's all we've go[F]t left
[Am]Can we make it ba[G]ck to the heroes w[F]e were?

[POST-CHORUS]
[C] Can we [C] save this
[Am] And bring us [Am]back to the [G]heroes we [F]were?
Can we [F] save this
[G] And bring us [Am]back to the [C/B]heroes
[Am]Back to the [C/B]heroes w[C]e were?
