[Intro]
Bm   D   E   Gmaj7       X2

[Verse]
Bm
I can see the faces through
    D
the broken glass
   E           Gmaj7
No longer pass
Bm                           D
Looking at the sky I see the city
lights
    E             Gmaj7
But no star fights

[Chorus]
D     A           Gmaj7
  I never want to fall asleep
   D             A
Within my dreams the weight
   Gmaj7
we sow, we reap
Bm        A          Gmaj7
Though I believe the sun
still shines
 Bm    A            Gmaj7
And I believe there comes a time
Bm          A               G
When out of silence we will sing
Bm       A                 G
And even broken bells will ring
Bm          A               G
Not all the answers are the same
    Bm       A        G
Yet we still play thе game

[Verse]
Bm
Sweeping off the pavemеnt
       D
with a parlor broom
      E           Gmaj7
Going nowhere soon
Bm
Between the cracks of sidewalk
          D
there's a flower grown
  E              Gmaj7
Beyond the stone

[Chorus]
D     A           Gmaj7
  I never want to fall asleep
   D             A             Gmaj7
Within my dreams the weight we sow,
we reap
Bm        A          Gmaj7
Though I believe the sun still shines
 Bm    A            Gmaj7
And I believe there comes a time
Bm          A               G
When out of silence we will sing
Bm       A                 G
And even broken bells will ring
Bm          A               G
Not all the answers are the same
    Bm       A        G
Yet we still play thе game
    Bm       A        G
Yet we still play the game
