Standard (EADGBE)

Intro/Verse:

Verse 1

We are children of divorce

Spiritual mothers, chemical fathers

Wish I learned to love you more

Lonesome brothers, trustless daughters

Interlude

Verse 2

We are children born of wars

Fought in places for the faces

 Where happiness is sold in stores

 They’ll keep you smiling if you keep buying

Chorus 1

 But they can’t take from you

 Something inside you never knew

 You always have too much to prove

 And never have enough to lose

I seem to see everything you do

Interlude

Verse 3

We are the unwritten scrolls

Background songs for dialogues

Always wanting something more

 To be the stars the light shines on

Chorus 2

 But they can’t take from you

 Something inside you never knew

 You have nothing to prove

 And, oh, you have so much to lose

I seem to see everything you do
