Intro 

Em G D Am

Em G D C 





Verse 1

Em                 G                        D             Am

You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame 

Em                    G            D                 Am

You have to cross the line just to remember where it lays 

Em                  G             D                Am

You won't know your worth now son until you take a hit 

 Em                     G              D                Am

And you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it 





Chorus

Em                                     G

That's why we won't back down we won't run and hide 

            D                            Am

Yeah, cause these are the things that we can't deny 

            Em              G

I'm passing over you like a satellite

   D              Am 

So catch me if I fall 



              Em                           G

That's why we stick to your game plans and party lives

       D                         Am 

But at night we're conspiring by candlelight

           Em             G 

We are the orphans of the american dreams 

    D                  Am

Oh shine your light on me 





Verse 2



Em                  G              D            Am

You can't fill your cup, until you empty all it has 

You can't understand what lays ahead 

If you don't understand the past 

You'll never learn to fly now 

Until you're standing at the cliff 

And you can't truly love until you've given up on it 



Chorus

That's why we won't back down we won't run and hide 

Yeah, cause these are the things that we can't deny 

I'm passing over you like a satellite 

So catch me if i fall 

That's why we stick to your game plans and party lives 

But at night we're conspiring by candlelight 

We are the orphans of the american dreams 

Oh shine your light on me 



Bridge

C                       Em

   She told me that she never



      G               C 

Could face the world again 

                  D

So I offered up a plan: 



Em

We'll sneak out 

G

While they sleep

D        Am         Em

And sail off in the night

           G 

We'll come clean 

          D

And start over 

       Am            Em

The rest of our lives

           G

When we're gone 

           D

We'll stay gone

       Am 

Out of sight

       Em 

Out of mind 

     G       D

It's not too late

            Am          Em 

We have the rest of our lives 



We'll sneak out 

While they sleep 

And sail off in the night 

We'll come clean 

And start over 

The rest of our lives 

When we're gone 

We'll stay gone 

Out of sight 

Out of mind 

It's not too late 

            Am          C   Em

We have the rest of our lives 



                G  D

The rest of our lives 





Chorus

Because we won't back down we won't run and hide 

Yeah, cause these are the things that we can't deny 

I'm passing over you like a satellite 

So catch me if i fall 

That's why we stick to your game plans and party lives 

But at night we're conspiring by candlelight 

We are the orphans of the american dreams 

Oh shine your light on me 



Em                          G

We won't back down we won't run and hide

            D                            Am 

Yeah, cause these are the things that we can't deny

            Em              G 

I'm passing over you like a satellite

       D                            Am 

Cause' these are the things that we can't deny now 

C                       D             Em

This is a life that you can't deny us now
