 Unbreak the broken

  Unchain the reactions now
I'm not ready to die not yet

[Verse 2]
Em
Underneath our bad blood
Bm
We've still got a sanctum
Am            C     
Home, still a home, 
       Em
still a  home here
             C
It's not too late to build it back
         Em               D
'Cause a one in a million chance
Is still a chance, still a chance
            D
And I would take those odds
