Chorus
      B                  F#
Are we growing up? Or just going down, 
            G#m                              E   G#m  F#
it's just a matter of time until we're all found out.
      B            F#            
Take our tears, put them on ice,
G#m                              
'cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light. 

Verse 1
            G#m      E            F#      B                  
We're the therapists, pumping through your speakers, 
G#m      E            F#      B
delivering just what you need. 
G#m      E            F#      B
We're well-read and poised, 
            G#m      E      F#      B
we're the best boys.
            G#m      E      F#      B
We're the chemists, who found the formula,
G#m            E            F#      B
to make your heart swell and burst.
G#m      E            F#      B
No matter what they say, 
      G#m      E      F#      B
don't believe a word.
      G#m                        E                              
'Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll
F#            B
keep believing it. 
G#m                        E      
I’ll keep singing this lie…
F#
I’ll keep singing this lie

Chorus

Verse 2
G#m      E            F#            B
We traveled, like gypsies, only 
G#m      E            F#            B
with worse luck and far less gold. 
G#m      E                  F#      B
We're the kids you used to love
   G#m        E            F#      B
but then we grew old. 
G#m      E      F#      B
We're the lifers here ‘til the bitter end
G#m      E            F#      B
condemned from the start.
G#m      E            F#      B
Ashamed of the way the songs 


G#m      E            F#      B
and the words own the beating of our hearts. 
G#m                        E 
‘Cause I’ll keep singing this lie…
F#
I’ll keep singing this lie

Chorus
            B            F#            G#m            E
There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up 
B            F#            G#m      E      G#m      F#
And another around to help us bend your trust. 
B            F#            G#m            E
I've got a sunset in my veins 
B                  F#                  G#m                  E
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay. 
B            
The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie", 
B
I hope you sing along and you steal a line. 
B
I need to keep you like this in my mind 
G#m            F#            
so give in or just give up.
