[Verse 1]
This is a sign of the times
Another mountain to climb
The sun burns as hot as the flame in the devil’s eyes
This is a sign of the times
Another mountain to climb
The sun burns as hot as the flame in the devil’s eyes

[Chorus]
There’s chaos on the rise
The sky is raining knives
We have mistaken
The toll that is taken, on you and I

[Post-Chorus]
You and I
You and I

[Chorus]
There’s chaos on the rise
The sky is raining knives
We have mistaken
The toll that is taken on, you and I

[Verse 2]
The oceans have all gone dry
Venus is passing by
You and I
You and I

[Chorus]
There’s chaos on the rise
The sky is raining knives
We have mistaken
The toll that is taken, on you and I

[Outro]
I gave you what you need
I gave you what you need
You and
You and
You
I gave what you need
We have mistaken
The toll that is taken on
We have mistaken
The toll that is taken on
I gave you what you need
I gave you what you need
I gave you what you need

Three Days Grace is a Canadian alternative rock band formed in 1997 and now based in Toronto. Consisting of lead vocalist Matt Walst, lead guitarist Barry Stock, drummer Neil Sanderson, and bassist Brad Walst, the band is best known for their metal-influenced, hard rock sound and clever songwriting.

TDG grew out of Groundswell, a five-member high-school band founded in 1992. With Adam Gontier as lead vocalist, Neil Sanderson as drummer, Brad Walst as bassist, Phil Crowe as lead guitarist, and Joe Grant as rhythm guitarist, Groundswell released one album, Wave of Popular Feeling in 1995. That same year, the band broke up, and it was not until 1997 that Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, and Brad Walst got together as “Three Days Grace”.

Working with local producer Gavin Brown, the trio re-worked a number of their past songs and compiled a demo album. After handing it to EMI Music Publishing Canada, TDG produced their smash single “I Hate Everything About You”, which would be released in 2003 alongside their eponymous debut album Three Days Grace through American label Jive Records.
