One More Time With Feeling

      Am
Your stitches are all out
         D
But your scars are healing wrong
    Am                         D
The helium balloon inside your room has come undone
         C                 G/B
And it's pushing up at the ceiling
        Am                   E/G#
And the flickering lights it cannot get beyond

F      Dm/F   F     Dm/F
||||   ||||   ||||  ||||

Am              C
Everyone takes turns
         D                 D/F#
Now it's yours to play the part
            Am           C
And they're sitting all around you
        D               D/F#
Holding copies of your chart
        C       G/B
And the misery inside their eyes is
Am               E/G#
Synchronized and reflecting into yours

F     Dm/F   F     Dm/F
||||  ||||   ||||  ||||

[Chorus]
C     E
Hold on!

Am                 F
One more time with feeling

C        E     Am                F
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm

C/G             E/B           Am                      F/C
Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right

Dm       F     Dm    F
This is why we fight

(Doo..doo-doo-doo-doo...doo...doo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo...)

C      C/E  F    F     C     C/E   F     F C/E  D     D/F#
||||  ||||  |||| ||||  ||||  ||||  ||||  ||||   ||||  ||||

D   Dm/F   Em  Dm   C...

[Verse 2]
(Same as first verse/chorus for second verse/chorus)

Am                       C
You thought by now you'd be
        D               D/F#
So much better than you are
    Am                    C
You thought by now they'd see
              D         D/F#
That you have come so far

        C                  G/B
And the pride inside their eyes
             Am          E/G#
Would synchronize into a love you've never known
F       Dm/F                   F     Dm/F
So much more than you've been shown

[Chorus]
C     E
Hold on!

Am                 F
One more time with feeling

C        E     Am                F
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm

C/G             E/B           Am                      F/C
Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right

[Outro]
C        E      F
This is why we fight
C        E     F
This is why we fight
