[Intro]

[Verse]
B
Tell your sons and your daughters we’ll reach the promised land
N.C.
Tell your sons and your daughters we’ve got the keys in hand
E B
That’s what we taught her – It’s all just chemistry, bottled up pure energy
F#
Tell your sons and daughters that nothing’s permanent
E F# B
and we’ll flow like water til our bodies are spent… oh no
[Verse]
B
Tell your sons and your daughters we’re not gonna sleep at night
B
Tell your sons and your daughters we’ll walk til we see the light
E
But what we taught her is that it’s all just rocketry?
B
Try it, swallow once and you’ll see
F#
Tell your sons and daughters they’ll wake up better for it
E F#
Long as we march whether it’s clear or it’s pouring
[Chorus]
B
So - walk, pausing to rest is boring
E
We don’t talk
F#
Gone cause it’s the best when you’re ignoring
B
Everyone halting to rest is boring
E F#
We don’t stop cause it’s the best to go exploring
B
Walk on, pausing to rest is boring
E
We don’t talk
F#
Gone cause it’s the best when you’re ignoring
B
Everyone halting to rest is boring
E F#
We don’t stop cause it’s the best to go exploring
B E F#
baba baba dadada baba dadada dadada
B E F# B
baba baba dadada baba dadada dadada
[Verse]
B
Tell your sons and your daughters we’ve got no time to waste
B
Tell your sons and you daughters come along, pick up the pace
E
It’s getting harder
E
They don’t know what high is yet
B
How detached do you think we can get?
F#
Now your sons and daughters know nothing's permanent
E F#
And we’ll duck and cover once our supply is spent
B D E
Oh no
B
Fuck!

baba baba dadada baba dadada dadada
B E F# B
baba baba dadada baba dadada dadada
[Chorus]
B
Walk on, pausing to rest is boring
E
We don’t talk
F#
Gone cause it’s the best when you’re ignoring
B
Everyone walking confess you’re snoring
E F#
So let’s stop, mark where you dropped and go exploring
B
Walk on, pausing to rest is boring
E
We don’t talk
F#
Gone cause it’s the best when you’re ignoring
B
Everyone halting to rest is boring
E F#
We don’t stop cause it’s the best to go exploring
