D      Asus   A
So, so innocent
Bm                   F#m
Or destructive and naïve
G                     Dsus     D
To paint a picture without the darkness
D                 Asus  A
Or pain without disease

D        Asus  A
Always imagining
        Bm                   F#m
But the memory in nothing at all
G                  Dsus   D
You can be part of the solution
D              Asus  A
I can hear you call

           D            Em            Bm             A
If there's rain in your tears, let it wash away your fears
           D             Em           Bm              A
If there's blood in your tracks, then let it lead you back
      D             Em        Bm              A
Cause we were never told that it would all be so
      G
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
