[Intro]
   
   

[Verse 1]

Is there anyon

e who
           
Ever remembers


 changing thei

r mind from

The paint on a

 sign?

Is there anyon

e who

really recalls
     
Ever breaking 

rank at all
              
For something 


someone yelled

 real loud one

 time

[Pre-Chorus]
          
     Everyone 

        
believes
            
In how they th

              
ink it ought t

  
o be
             
   Everyone be

    
lieves
    
And they're no

t going easily

[Verse]
   


Belief is a be

autiful armor

But makes for 

the heaviest s

word

Like punching 

under water

You never can 

hit who you're

 trying for

Some need the 

exhibition

And some have 

to know they t

ried

It's the chemi

cal weapon
           
For the war th

              
at's raging on

    
 inside

[Pre-Chorus]
          
     Everyone 

        
believes
     
From emptiness

 to everything
          
     Everyone 

        
believes
    
And no ones go

ing quietly

[Chorus] x2
           
We're never go

              
nna win the wo


rld
              
We're never go

    
nna stop the w

ar
           
We're never go

    
nna beat this
           
If belief is w

          
hat we're figh

ting for

[Bridge]
   

           
Is there anyon

     
e who can reme

mber
             
Ever surrender

 
, with their l

ife on the lin

e

[Solo]
   
   

[Chorus]
           
We're never go

  
nna win the wo

rld
           
We're never go

    
nna stop the w

ar
           
We're never go

   
nna beat this
           
If belief is w

          
hat we're figh

ting for X2

[Outro]
   

          
What puts a hu

            
ndred thousand

           
 children in t

       
he sand
           
Belief can


           
Belief can


           
What puts the 

           
folded flag in

           
side his mothe

        
r's hand
          
Belief can


          
Belief can

Cheers. I know this is 100% right. The song becomes easier to play if you know 
the order it goes in. For reference the song goes.
