              Intro : G# A# D# A# 
 
verse 1 : 
G#                                        F#  
   Raging waters flood the valleys of your mind. 
E                                      F# 
   The torrent washed away the warning signs. 
 
 
E                F#             B 
Swim through the ones and zeros, 
B                   G#            F# 
So hard to tell the villains from heroes. 
E  
What if they say isn't true? 
F#                      G# 
What if they want isn't best for you? 
 
verse 2 : 
G#                                       F#  
  Washed up, face down on digital shores. 
E                                       F# 
  Lungs contract, now dive back in for more. 
G#                                       F#  
  Are you sitting on the edge of your seat? 
                 E                                       F# 
  We'll be right back, don't move an inch, don't move an inch. 
 
 
E                F#              
Swim through the ones and zeros, 
B                   G#            F# 
So hard to tell the villians from heros. 
E                                   F# 
Static mirror, life isn't black and white. 
                                       B 
I understand it's hard to chose what's right. 
 
Whiteout swallows us all. 
     G#                   F# 
Once snow-blind, we won't care at all. 
E  
What if they say isn't true? 
F#                      G# 
What if they want isn't best for you? 
 
Best for... You. 
 
G# 
Woah oh woah 
G# 
Woah oh woah 
F# 
Woah oh woah 
E 
Woah oh woah 
 
Solo : E D# F# G# 
 
Break : 
E  
Tunnel vision, 
Hearts beat in time. 
D#  
Rhythmic contractions 
F#                        G# 
Drowning in a flood of distractions. 
 
Post Break : 
E                 F#                     B  
I want to wake up and find a world in remission, 
              G#           F# 
Free from the grasp of the human condition. 
E            F#                 G#   
   But we're all trapped inside static screens, 
F#                                     
   Trained from birth just to nod and agree. 
E                    F# 
   I don't want to believe, 
              G# 
That we'll be forever, fast, asleep. 
 
E                F#              
Swim through the ones and zeros, 
B                   G#            F# 
So hard to tell the villians from heros. 
E                                   F# 
Static mirror, life isn't black and white. 
                                       B 
I understand it's hard to chose what's right. 
 
Whiteout swallows us all. 
     G#                   F# 
Once snow-blind, we won't care at all. 
E  
What if they say isn't true? 
F#                      G# 
What if they want isn't best for you?
