NOTES:
One of my favourite NF songs... They just don't get any better.
Play the E in the chorus as indicated. Enjoy...!


VERSE:
  E               C#m   A       G#m
I long to see the other side of things
     E                C#m       A         G#m
Hung on the cliff, in search of something big
  E                  C#m  A     G#m
I can't look down, I only can retreat
    E                  C#m    A      G#m
Who knows one day I'll dive into the sea


CHORUS: 
A               E            D
Here we all are sitting like fools
E            C#m      G#m
Stuck by the rules of fate
A                         E          D
Is what we are what we've grown to believe
E          C#m       G#m
Better the devil you know


VERSE:
Live for the day we throw caution to the wind
All we need is the courage to begin
I might get hurt but never be scared again
At once to feel the pleasure and the pain


BRIDGE:
Am          Em    Am               Em
   Into the city,    into the city every day
Am          Em    Am                            Em 
   Into the city,    piling through the factory gates
Am          Em    Am               Em
   It's not easy,    it's not easy to escape
Am           Em      Am                     Em
   All the decisions    that you've already made


VERSE:
I long to see the other side of things
Hung on the cliff, in search of something big
I can't look down, I only can retreat
Who knows one day I'll dive into the sea


CHORUS:
Here we all are sitting like fools
Stuck by the rules of fate
Is what we are what we've grown to believe
E          C#m       C#
Better the devil you know
