Intro: C#m, C#m-A-C#m-B x4


Verse 1:
        C#m
We are alive for a moment
One second in the
great abyss of time
All the bleeding
all the hate
                     C#m
Just one blink of an eye
        A            E
All the conflicts it visits
     B             C#m
dire pain on human life
       A       E
Are we missing what
         B
it is to be alive?


Refrain 1:
A                       C#m
  One by one the pieces fall
                           E
Until our pride defeats us all
                     G#m
We learn to live without it


Chorus 1:
C#m
Wake up!
A      E
To the sound of 
     B
this time bomb
C#m
Wake up!
A       E         B
To it's deafening song
C#m
Wake up!
      A         E
Cause you don't know what 
       B   C#m        A
you've got until it's gone
 E
Until it's gone


Interlude: C#m


Verse 2:
        C#m        A
Our innocence is a virtue
        E
But our arrogance will
B             C#m
only leave us blind
    A              E
Unattended without anyone
   B             C#m
to save our idle lives
             A
Will we find out
     E
that everything we 
B             C#m
know exists inside
     A
of a fraction
     B
Of a fraction


Refrain 2:
A
  One by one the
       G#m
pieces fall again


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Chorus 2:
C#m
Wake up!
A      E
To the sound of 
     B
this time bomb
C#m
Wake up!
A       E         B
To it's deafening song
C#m
Wake up!
      A         E
Cause you don't know what 
       B   C#m        A
you've got until it's gone
 E
Until it's gone away


Bridge:
G#m                     A
  One by one the pieces fall
B
  Until our pride defeats us all
Yeah!
