Intro:   

Verse 1
                                   
So young to seem such a mess
                                         
Dead shy and scared half to death (of the rest)

Set sail from shores of innocence
                                                     
For data banks and fashion friends (whoa-oh)

Chorus 1

We don't know what we've become
                
and we're freaking out
                        
When did we lose ourselves?
                         
When did we lose ourselves?

Love forgive what we've become
                          
‘cause we need you now
                      
So we can save ourselves
                     
So we can save ourselves


Verse 2

Transcend the trend of proofs and pills
                                           
to numb the life that you have built 

(and you have spilt) 

Breed life to fill the void inside
                                    
and teach them all to stand in line 

(Don’t give into it and fall behind) 


Oo-whoa-oh
Oo-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh


Chorus 2

We don't know what we've become
                
and we're freaking out
                          
when did we lose ourselves
                           
When did we lose ourselves?
  
Love forgive what we've become
                  
‘Cause we need you now
                           
so we can save ourselves
                        
so we can save ourselves

Solo: Strum    () 

Chorus 3


We don't know what we've become
                        
and we're freaking out
                                   
when did we lose ourselves?
                                  
When did we lose ourselves?
  
Love forgive what we've become
                         
‘Cause we need you now
                                 
so we can save ourselves
                                 
so we can save ourselves

*(continue to strum, palm muting the chorus for the outro)*

Oo-whoa-oh, oo-whoa-oh, oo-whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Oo-whoa-oh, oo-whoa-oh

When did we lose ourselves?

Oo-whoa-oh, oo-whoa-oh, oo-whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Oo-whoa-oh, oo-whoa-oh, whoa-oh
