White Knuckles

Key: C#Hard

C#5

F#5

C#5Are you still lost tonight? A5 F#5 C#5

Living but dead inside A5 F#5 C#5

This is the proclamation A5 F#5 C#5

This is the call to rise A5 F#5 C#5

Are you abused alone? A5 F#5 C#5

Walking with broken bones A5 F#5 C#5

If you feel you've been forgotten A5 F#5 C#5

Let this song guide you home

C#5 A5We are the disilE5lusioned

We've been lD5eft wanting mC#5ore

A5Before every aspiE5ration

Hits the flD5oor

Chorus

C#5Hold on fA5or your lE5ife D5

C#5All we fA5eel is so E5far from aD5live

The dC#5amned are done belA5ieving

And the cuE5rsed can dream no mD5ore

So hC#5old on fA5or your lE5ife

Because oD5nly the strong suC#5rvive

C#5They tell you what you should be A5 F#5 C#5

They sell you the plastic dreams A5 F#5 C#5

Opinions are all provided A5 F#5 C#5

But nothing is what it seems A5 F#5 C#5

I dare you take control A5 F#5 C#5

Cause empty are hands

And bruised are the souls A5 F#5 C#5

Of those who show no resistance A5 F#5 C#5

Of those who are weak below

C#5 A5We are the disenE5chanted

Who dD5ie with each passing C#5day

No oA5ne here underE5stands us

So I sD5ay

Chorus

C#5B5A5

A5How will it E5feeGl?

C#5To live your lie until your dB5ying dA5ay

Where nothing is E5reaGl

C#5As we sacrifice

Bending unB5til we bA5reak

It's been reE5veaGled

C#5Hold on for your life

Dreams are not thB5eirs to tA5ake

E5DreGams are not theirs to tC#5ake
