Verse 1:
G D6
Hot is the night
Em (Fill 1)
And cold is the morning
C G
Deep is the sea

That we’re under
And small is the man
Caught in the whirlpool
Hope is prayer
And his pleasure

Chorus A:
G
And it’s a road
C G
That you gotta be forced along
C G
And you’re lucky to be so strong

Oh I once belonged
to a nation
Now I am one
With the world
And I’m hoping to change
Evil to virtue
Failing to be
All I can

Verse 3:
And long is the road
To reach Valhalla
Safe is the seat
Down in the suburbs
I said age cannot save
You from knowing
That all hearts are one
To a tree

Yeah, it’s a road
C G
That we gotta be forced along
C G
You’re lucky to be that strong
