Tom: C
C F
We used to play, take new shapes, be whoever we wanted to be
C
(They brought their money, we made our own)
C F
But those days are over, we're told to be quiet, be one little thing
C
(They spoke a language we didn't know)
[Bridge]
Am F C
But we'll speak up, speak up now
Am F C
and our echoes won't bounce back doubts
[Verse 2]
C F
I’ll be the cop or the cowboy and we'll play until dark
C
(Dark will come but so will dawn, the sun will fall but rise once more)
C F
we don’t need light, only time now to prove who we are
C
(Who we are is not our job, it's not our role, it's what we love)
[Bridge]
Am F C
So we'll speak up, speak up now
Am G
and our echoes will be heard
[Chorus]
C G
So I'll wait until 4 a.m.
Am F
When our sounds rise and return again
Am G F C
to be heard is all we ask
[Verse 3]
C F
edge to the line, trip the timer and wait for your turn
C
(Turn your fears into your fuel, and let them push instead of pull)
C F
all reds go green eventually if you’re willing to learn
C
(learn the rules, time our shots, our throats untwist, and we speak up)
[Bridge]
Am F C
So we'll speak up, speak up now
Am. G
and our echoes will be heard
[Chorus]
C G
So I'll wait until 4 a.m.
Am F
When our sounds rise and return again
Am G F C
to be heard is all we ask
[Bridge]
C G
So I'll wait until 4 a.m.
Am F
When our sounds rise and return again
Am G F C
to be heard is all we ask
Am F C
speak up, speak up, now
Am F C
speak up, speak up, now
Am F C
speak up, speak up, now
Am G
speak up, speak up
[Outro]
C G
So I'll wait until 4 a.m.
Am F
When our sounds rise and return again
Am G F C
to be heard is all we have
