Lyrics

All rise,

all fall.

I’ll fail

you all.

We built these cit ies

to (Csus2)stand so tall.

We’ve lost

our walls.

I don’t wan na (Em7)lose you com ing down,

with the whole world up side (D)down.

I don’t have a (Em7)soul to trust in (Csus2)now,

with the whole world up side (G)down.

We are (D)one

to (Em7)night

and we’re (Csus2)sing ing it (G)out.

We are (D)one

to (Em7)night

and we’re (Csus2)dream ing out (G)loud.

Though the (D)world

is (Em7)flawed,

these (Csus2)scars

will (G)heal.

We are (D)one

to (Em7)night,

to (Csus2)night,

to (G)night,

to (Em7)night.

Two eyes,

one tongue.

I’ve come

un done.

We I’m no vic tim;

I’ve (Csus2)paid these dues.

I came

to lose.

I don’t wan na (Em7)fight a bout it now,

with the whole world up side (D)down.

I don’t have a (Em7)soul to trust in (Csus2)now,

with the whole world up side (G)down.

We are (D)one

to (Em7)night

and we’re (Csus2)sing ing it (G)out.

We are (D)one

to (Em7)night

and we’re (Csus2)dream ing out (G)loud.

Though the (D)world

is (Em7)flawed,

these (Csus2)scars

will (G)heal.

We are (D)one

to (Em7)night,

to (Csus2)night,

to (G)night,

to (Em7)night.

To (G)night,

to (Em7)night.

I don’t wan na (Em7)lose the com mon ground,

with the whole world up side (D)down.

I don’t wan na (Em7)fight a bout it (Csus2)now,

in a world that’s burn ing out.

Let’s slow the eve ning (G)down,

slow it (D)down,

(Em7)slow down.

Please slow (G)down,

down,

down.

The (C)stars are com ing out.

We are (D)one.

We are (Csus2)one.

We are (D)one.

We are (Csus2)one

to (G)night.

We are (D)one

to (Em7)night

and we’re (Csus2)sing ing it (G)out.

We are (D)one

to (Em7)night

and we’re (Csus2)dream ing out (G)loud.

Though the (D)world

is (G)flawed,

these (C)scars

will (G)heal.

We are (D)one

to (Em7)night,

to (Csus2)night,

to (G)night.
