[Verse 1]
Em     Am
Lost in the middle

       C     F
It's a firefight

Em     Am              C     F
Teeth clenching up behind the firelight.

                 Gm    C
There was one thing.

       F     A#          F     Gm
And it's buried at the end of the world

Em     Am              C     F
Caught in a trap, the game is sleeping now

             Em    Am
The many personal

       C     F
Floating up above the bow

                 Gm    C
There is one thing

       F     A#          F     Gm
And it's buried at the end of the world


[Chorus]

A#     Dm    A#
Who might

Gm     A#    Dm    A#
Who       might

Dm     F     C
Dare me to try?

A#     Dm    A#
Who might

Gm     A#    Dm    A#
Who       might

Dm     F     A#    F     Gm
Dare me to try?


[Verse 2]

Em     Am
Life's still the same

             C     F
'Cause nothing's happened yet

Em     Am              C     F
Just smiling as if they around my hijacked jet

                 Gm    C
There is one thing

       F     A#          F     Gm
And it's buried at the end of the world

Am
They'd call it a wrap

       C     F
If they could see me now

Em     Am
You cannot have it all

       C     F
Listen up, I'll show you how.

                 Gm    C
There is one thing

       F     A#          F     Gm
And it's buried at the end of the world


[Chorus]

A#     Dm    A#
Who might

Gm     A#    A     C
Who       might

A#     Dm    A#
Who might

Gm     A#    A     C
Who       might


[Verse 3]

A#                    Dm    A#
Some things take time

                 Gm
All in all, it's fine

       A#           A
It's you who might

             C
When it comes the time

Dm     F
Dare me to try


[Instrumental]

C      A#    Dm    A#    Gm    A#

Dm     A#    Dm    F     C


[Chorus]

A#     Dm    A#
Who might

Gm     A#    Dm    A#
Who       might

Dm     F     C
Dare me to try?
