Empty Lives Chords

[Intro]
D#m B F# C#
D#m B F# C# F#
 
 
[Verse 1]
D#m                   B
And when your mind is dead
                       F#
Empty eyes sit in your head
                              C#
And you sense there's nothing left
                   D#m
With every passing breath
                        B
But you soldier on each day
                               F#
Why should thoughts get in the way?
                              C#
There's a place for you right here
                      F#
'Cuz conformity hides fear
 
 
[Chorus]
           B   C#  D#m
I'd say to you
F#                          B
I'd say to you "just try to change"
                      C#
Empty minds can fill again
                        B
We're not doomed by any fate
            Bm    G#m    D#m
And it will never be too late
 
 
[Verse 2]
                           B
Unless you die like all my friends
                     F#
Meeting silent jaded ends
                       C#
Then a lesson might be learned
                      D#m
You can fade away and burn
                          B
The two are not exclusive things
                         F#
But the sorrow that they bring
                      C#
It can jade us all to hate
                           F#
'Cuz empty lives don't devastate
 
 
[Chorus]
           B  C#  D#m
I'd say to you
F#                          B
I'd say to you "just try to change"
                     G#m
Empty lives can fill again
                        C#
We're not doomed by any fate
           B     A#m    D#m
And it can never be too late
 
 
[Bridge]
D#m
It's a wheel of betrayal
D#m
It's a static emotion
         B
It's the will to survive
B
With an inborn devotion
         F#
It's the courage to change
F#
And admit your mistakes
         C#
It's the chance to rise up
C#
With the raising of stakes
          D#m
It's your consciousness
D#m
And the guilt you must feel
         B
It's the time to stand up
B
And take back your raw deals
            F#
Because the time has come
F#
To put folks before wealth
   C#
Or you will lose your family
C#
Friends and yourself
         D#m
It's the horror and terror
D#m
That you sweep out of sight
         B
It's the blaming of others
B
To help you sleep at night
         F#
It's the raping and death
F#
That lies under your smile
         C#
It's the real estate
C#
And the cash that you pile
     D#m
It's all of these things
D#m
That are causing us pain
        B
So I'll tell your ass "just try to change"
     F#
'Cuz empty lives can fill again
    C#              B     C#  F#  D#m
Yes empty lives can fill again
