Key: E

Tuning: Standard EADGBe


Intro: C#m, C#m-A-C#m-B x4


Verse 1:
    C#m
We are alive for a moment
One second in the
great abyss of time
All the bleeding
all the hate
           C#m
Just one blink of an eye
    A      E
All the conflicts it visits
   B       C#m
dire pain on human life
    A    E
Are we missing what
     B
it is to be alive?

Refrain 1:
A            C#m
 One by one the pieces fall
              E
Until our pride defeats us all
           G#m
We learn to live without it


Chorus 1:
C#m
Wake up!
A   E
To the sound of
   B
this time bomb
C#m
Wake up!
A    E     B
To it's deafening song
C#m
Wake up!
   A     E
Cause you don't know what
    B  C#m    A
you've got until it's gone
 E
Until it's gone


Interlude: C#m


Verse 2:
    C#m    A
Our innocence is a virtue
    E
But our arrogance will
B       C#m
only leave us blind
  A       E
Unattended without anyone
  B       C#m
to save our idle lives
       A
Will we find out
   E
that everything we
B       C#m
know exists inside
   A
of a fraction
   B
Of a fraction


Refrain 2:
A
 One by one the
    G#m
pieces fall again


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Chorus 2:
C#m
Wake up!
A   E
To the sound of
   B
this time bomb
C#m
Wake up!
A    E     B
To it's deafening song
C#m
Wake up!
   A     E
Cause you don't know what
    B  C#m    A
you've got until it's gone
 E
Until it's gone away


Bridge:
G#m           A
 One by one the pieces fall

 Until our pride defeats us all
