A#G#D#5 We were travellers, so blind G#D#5C# Went to where the world did end A#G#D#5 Read of deaths in waves and out G#D#5C# So this is when we walked away A#G#D#5 And the sadness I suppose G#D#5C# Gonna hold me to the ground A#G#D#5 Where I'm forced to find the still G#D#5C# (PAUSE) In a place you won't be 'round
C#G#D#5 Now Was I ever part of knowing G#D#5C# (PAUSE) With your hands in mine C#G#D#5D# (PAUSE) Little screams into the wonder A#,G#,D#5 And a wild set of rides G#,D#5,C# So c'mon now A#,G#,D#5G#,D#5,C# Oooooooooooooooh c'mon now

A#G#D#5 It's not the sting of cities flickering in life no G#D#5C# It's not me knowing there's a deeper in the dust no A#G#D#5 It's not the reasoning with shadows that are gone no G#D#5C# (PAUSE) It's not me knowing I'm yet to see fire A#,G#,D#5 It's just all this fucking doubt G#,D#5,C# So c'mon now A#,G#,D#5G#,D#5,C# Oooooooooooooooh c'mon now
A#G#D#5 And this sadness I suppose G#D#5C# Gonna hold me to the ground A#G#D#5 Where I'm forced to find the still G#D#5C# (PAUSE) In a place you won't be 'round
