G Am     G Am

[Verse 1]
G             Am
Sometimes I'm beaten
G             Am
Sometimes I'm broke
       G               Am     F                 C
'Cause sometimes this city is nothing but smoke
G           Am
Is there a secret?
G           Am
Is there a code?
    G           Am
Can we make it better?
       F               C
'Cause I'm losing hope

[Chorus]
Am                        C
Tell me how to be in this world
               F                      C
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
                   F            Am
Tell me how 'cause I believe in something
 G            C    G C
I believe in us

[Verse 2]
G         Am
After the wreckage
G         Am
After the dust
   G              Am        F               C
I still hear the highway, I still feel the rush
G          Am   G             Am
Over the riots, above all the noise
G               Am       F                   C
Through all the worry, I still hear your voice

[Chorus]
Am                 (G)    C
Tell me how to be in this world
               F                        C
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
                   F            Am
Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
 G           C     (G)
I believe in us
Am                    (G)    C
Tell me where the light goes down
                F                        C
So even in the dark we can find our way out
                    F              C
Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
 G           C   G Am
I believe in us

[Bridge]
F                                        Am G
We used to be kids livin' just for kicks
Am                               Am G
Cinema seats learnin' how to kiss
C
Runnin' through streets that were painted gold
G                                   F
We never believed we'd grow up like this

[Chorus]
Am                 (G)    C
Tell me how to be in this world
               F                      C
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
                    F             Am
Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
 G             C  G
I believe in us
F                     (G)    C
Tell me where the light goes down
                 F                        C
That even in the dark we can find our way out
                   F            Am
Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
 G
I believe in us
 F            C
I believe in something
    G             F
And I believe in us

C
