[INTRO]
[C] [Em/B] [Am] [G]
[VERSE]
[C]Was I put here for a [Em/B]reason
I [Am]thought there was a master [G]plan
I [C]thought I was a human [Em/B]being
And I [Am]thought I was your [G]man
[C]I'm always looking for the [Em/B]answers
[Am]They're always just outside our [G]reach
[C]It pulls us up onto the [Em/B]altar
[Am]And spits us out into the [G]street
[CHORUS]
I [C]wish we could stay [Em/B]frozen in this [Am]mo- [G]ment
So [C]you and I could [Em/B]drink up this night
For it's [Am]over in the [G]blink of an [C]eye
[Em/B] [Am] [G]
[VERSE]
[C]Have you come here for a [Em/B]reason?
[Am]Are you murders in [G]disguise?
[C]Is there something I'm not [Em/B]seeing
That will [Am]lead to our [G]demise?
[C]The forces out there are [Em/B]relentless
[Am]They will pull us apart and run us [G]down
[C]I wanna break across the [Em/B]fences
[Am]Before I lose you in the [G]crowd
[CHORUS]
I [C]wish we could stay [Em/B]frozen in this [Am]mo- [G]ment
So [C]you and I could [Em/B]drink up this night
For it's [Am]over in the [G]blink of an [C]eye
[Em/B]a la lie, [Am]lie la [G]lie
[C]Eye, [Em/B]a la lie, [Am]lie la [G]lie
[VERSE]
[C]Let us not spend the [Em/B]rest of our days [Am]trying to make [G]sense
[C]Let's waste all our time on the [Em/B]truly sublime
Let's get a [Am]message to our [G]friends
Tell 'em [C]I will remember this [Em/B]storied ground
I'll [Am]beat the drum, I'll [G]make you proud
[CHORUS]
And [C]we could be [Em/B]frozen in this [Am]mo- [G]ment
And [C]you and I could [Em/B]drink up this night
For it's [Am]over in the [G]blink of an [C]eye
[Em/B]a la lie, [Am]lie la [G]lie
[C]Eye, [Em/B]a la lie, [Am]lie la [G]lie
[BREAK]
[G] [Am] [Em] [F] x2
[BRIDGE]
[G]Now, was I put here for a [Am]reason
[Em]I thought there was a master [F]plan
[G]I thought I was a human [Am]being
And I [Em]thought I [F]was your [C]man
And I [Em]thought I [F]was your [C]man
[BREAK]
[Em/B] [Am] [G]
[VERSE]
[C]Before we waste another [Em/B]minute
[Am]Before we draw another [G]breath
[C]Why can't we finally just [Em/B]admit it?
[Am]Put our restless souls to [G]bed
[VERSE]
We'll put 'em [C]out of the heavens and [Em/B]into this world
He'll be [Am]lighting our way from [G]this day forward
[CHORUS]
And [C]we could be [Em/B]frozen in this [Am]mo- [G]ment
And [C]you and I could [Em/B]drink up this night
For it's [Am]over in the [G]blink of an [C]eye
[Em/B]a la lie, [Am]lie la [G]lie
[C]Eye, [Em/B]a la lie, [Am]lie la [G]lie
