[Verse 1]
      Am
Your stitches are all out
         D
But your scars are healing wrong
    Am                         D
The helium balloon inside your room has come undone
         C                 G/B
And it's pushing up at the ceiling
        Am                   E/G#                          
And the flickering lights it cannot get beyond 
F      Dm/F   F     Dm/F
||||   ||||   ||||  ||||
 
Am              C
Everyone takes turns
         D                 D/F#
Now it's yours to play the part
            Am           C
And they're sitting all around you
        D               D/F#
Holding copies of your chart
        C       G/B
And the misery inside their eyes is
Am               E/G#                            
Synchronized and reflecting into yours
F     Dm/F   F     Dm/F 
||||  ||||   ||||  ||||
[Chorus]
C     E
Hold on!
Am                 F
One more time with feeling
C        E     Am                F
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm
C/G             E/B           Am                      F/C
Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right
Dm       F     Dm    F
This is why we fight
C      C/E  F    F     C     C/E   F     F C/E  D     D/F#    
||||  ||||  |||| ||||  ||||  ||||  ||||  ||||   ||||  ||||    
D   Dm/F   Em  Dm   C...
[Outro]
C        E      F
This is why we fight 
C        E     F
This is why we fight
