A                       E  B
Hoping for the pin to drop
                A
'Cause I can't hold it all
                        E
Trying to correct the wrongs
 B              A
Say when, say when
                                    E   B
Better luck now that you're on your own
               A
So don't just lie there
                        E
Hoping for the pin to drop
 B
Say when, say when

 B               C#m
Keep counting all the fresh starts we had
E                 B
I'll raise another white flag so that
B                   C#m
We keep counting all the fresh starts we had
E               B                A
I'll fly another white flag over us

Chorus:
 A                 E
No time to bow down, no time to kill
B
No justifying staying down in silence
 A                 E
No time to bow down, no time to kill
B
We stay between the white lines
A                  E
No time to bow down, no time to kill
B
No justifying staying down in silence
A                  E
No time to bow down, no time to kill
B
We stay between the white lines

Hoping for a stroke of luck
But one you're counting on
Trying to deflect away
Say when, say when
What do you have, and what do you want?
Are you still stuck here
Hoping for a stroke of luck?
Say when, say when

Keep counting all the fresh starts we've had
I'll raise another white flag so that
We keep counting all the fresh starts we've had
I'll fly another white flag over us

Chorus

          A      F#m     E     G#m
Changing focus, stay in silence
          A      F#m     E     G#m
Changing focus, stay in silence
          A      F#m     E     G#m
Changing focus, stay in silence
          A      F#m     E     G#m
Changing focus, stay in silence

Chorus

The white lines
Between the white lines
White lines
