Foundations Cifras

     Am        G        F
"Is everybody coming undone?"
                    Am
She asks me with a straight face
                   G                F
and sometimes its hard to tell the truth
            Am          G                          F
when all I know all I know is that we're all just trying to stay afloat
Am                    G                       F
  That's the way it is, that's just the way it is
 
 
Am-F-C-G
 
                          Am
It feels like I've got to get away
                         F
like there's got to be a better way
                     C
because when you've got to get out
               G
you've got to get out
 
         Am                        F                        C
Promises where I swear that I am fine are getting harder to keep
                            G        Am
they're getting harder to believe
 
F                   C
  I should be old enough by now
                       G                     Am
to stop pulling at my hair and tearing at my skin
                  F    C
but we're so young
                      G
It feels like we're so young
 
Chorus
 
                Am
The cranes hang quietly tonight
                                C
as if to remind us that this is home
                        G
and that this is how we live now
                        Am
with no back-up plan or way out
                       F
From here I can see it all
 
every false step that I made
                      Am
and how I let it chip away at the foundations
          G                       Am
that I am set upon, as I stood by again
C             G               F
   But we are nothing without resilience
 
C                     G                  F
   because we are all tied up in our own ways
C                G              F
   Worst come to worst, failing everything
                      C
we pick up the broken pieces
             G                 F
and put them all back together again
 
 
Chorus
Am          G             F
Stay afloat, stay aaaaaaafloat
