[Verse]
Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Do do do doooo
Bm                F#m7           Bm          F#m7     Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Come on my little ruin won’t you open up and let us in?
Bm                F#m7       Bm          F#m7     Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Time has not been kind but you're still standing here
G                                           Bm
Leave a light on in your window, won’t you let me see a sign?
G                                           Bm
It’s gonna take more than smoke and mirrors now for me this time

[Chorus]
Bm                  F#m7             Bm        F#m7             Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Come on, my little sorrow, won’t you sing yourself a different song?
Bm              F#m7            Bm        F#m7      Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
The melody that made you is now a worn-out sing-along
G                               Bm
Everybody’s looking at you, but I can’t stand to watch
G                             Bm
I’ve seen this scene come and go too much
A                                    Em7             A
And oh, how you struggle through the hours, way-yeah-eah
A                        Em7           A
your sorrow leading the way, hay-yeah-eah
A                                    Em7                              G
And as you stood there among the cowards    you were letting them win

[Bridge]
                   Bm             A                   G
But I’m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up
                           Bm                     A               G
no I’m not, cause you're better than they are and I can’t say it enough
                               Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
that’s enough "what are you doing?"

[Chorus]
Bm                F#m7           Bm             F#m7      Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Come on my little ruin won’t you build yourself back up again?
Bm                               F#m7           Bm      F#m7     Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Won’t you take the time you were given, you promised it to yourself
G                                         Bm
You could stand among the best of them if you could hold your own
G                                      Bm
But no-one's gonna do it for you now, but you and you alone
A                                    Em7             A
And oh, how you struggle with your power, way-yeah-eah
A                                Em7             A
And keep your back tight to the wall, hay-yeah-eah
A                                    Em7                                G
And as you were counted among the cowards    they didn’t see you at all

[Verse]
                        Bm              A                G
Now you're caught on a rising wave, and I can’t get you off
                   Bm             A                   G
But I’m not gonna stand aside and watch them tear you up
                           Bm                           A
No, I’m not, cause you're better than they are, you're better than they are
        G
You're better than they are, you're better than they are
        Bm                       A               G
you're better than they are, and I can’t say it enough
                              Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
that’s enough "what are you doing?"
              Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
"what are you doing?"

[Chorus]
Bm                F#m7           Bm                 F#m7       Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
Come on my little ruin won’t you tell me where the feeling’s gone?
Bm                   F#m7                Bm            F#m7     Bm F#m7 Bm F#m7
There's nothing lost between us, you can come back anytime you want
