 so go  ahead and lie to yourself,
 and pretend that you’re a ray  of light,
 when you’re a broken  candle,
 you’re keeping time with yourself,
 when did it all start moving way  too fast,
 for you  to handle,
 you’re short  on breath but heavy  on time,
 you lost  the words but you found  the rhyme,
 it’s all  just poetry now,
 the walls are singing,
hallelujah  amen,
 the walls are singing,
hallelujah  amen,
it’s  so dark in the room,
 and the ceilings are high,
 you know the feeling,
 you’ve been here before,
But  it’s a broken old pew,
 and it’s an echoing cry,
 don’t sell yourself short,
 on breath and heavy  on time,
 you lost  the words but you found  the rhyme,
 it’s all  just poetry now,
 the walls are singing,
hallelujah  amen,
 the walls are singing,
hallelujah  amen,

 Now's the part where it gets all intense and in the latest version Sam does his speech.
 Basically the chords are
 or something along those lines.
 in time  you’ll find,
 this life’s a painting  and you’re the artist,
 so open  your eyes,
 it’s never too late  to clear your canvas,
 so paint  me jealous,
paint  me rage,
 for God’s  sake paint me anything,
 just paint,
 your brush awaits,
hallelujah  amen,
 the walls sing you to sleep,
hallelujah  amen,
 one secret meant to keep  you safe  tonight,
 I swear that everything  will be  alright
 and then the last note is the 5th fret of the bottom string
