[Verse]
          G                               A
There’s a sadness in the heart now of the imitation zone
      G                             A
Don’t forget about your brothers if you go at it alone
             G                           A                             G
And I could almost take a whole life, to disclose how I feel about the now
                   A
Can’t give you an insightful conclusion
      G                         A
So if time is predicated on abstractions in a void
        G                           A
Do not subjugate yourself capitulating to the noise
           G                                          A                         G
If I could reach out through the screen and give you something to believe in, I would
                    A
But I’m with you in amongst the confusion


[Chorus]
      D          G
It’s okay, don’t fear
       A              Bm
Go be part of the new sincere
       D              G
Do not let your heart go
    A                 G
To shit, enslaved to ephemera


[Post-Chorus]
G


[Verse]
     G                             A
Our childhood is memory, still ascended high in dreams
            G                              A
And I’m suspending what I held for preconceptions of my being
       G                              A                              G
I only say this to affirm our time is short, but we’ve will to carry on
                   A
Transcend with our scars and confusions
       G                         A
I was furious and dumb, lighting fires through the town
             G                           A
I’d play the fiddle and forget whatever I was pissed about
            G                               A                              G
I know that most of you relates to some extent, and God, I know how lame it sounds
                A
But I’m glad I became more human


[Chorus]
D              G
Stay, don’t go
               A                              Bm
We’re like halfway through the halftime show
       D             G
Do not let this one end
   A             G
Before you emerge as the winner

[Verse]
          G                       A
Hey, it’s me, I’m bringing you a case of Dry
      Bm                           D                              G
And words un-engendered fuck this, dumb city sleeps in the night
                       A
And I won’t leave you hanging in the wind
          Bm                        D                               A
So let me love with a vengeance my sad, sweet and unfinished friend
                  Bm
And we can go and mock the skyline now
D                              G                                A
Those bourgie windows full of dickheads we don’t know a thing about
                Bm
You wanna feel absolved tonight
     D                                G                       A
I’ve heard what you’re saying, it’s okay not to be so alright


[Bridge]
             Bm
But don’t be alone
      D                                 G
Did I tell you that I spent most of my sister’s wedding stoned?
             A                 Bm
Say what you want with blood and bone
            D                               G
And stick a finger in their faces when they say you’re overblown
           A               Bm
Say yes to sun, say yes to pain,
           D                              G
say yes to sticking with a city through a thousand days of rain
           A                Bm
Say yes to grace, say no to spite
           D                                G
Say yes to this, say yes to you, say yes to me, say yes to love
           D     C#m Bm G F#m G
Say yes to life
               D      C#m G F#m Em G
Say, say yes to life
