[Verse 1]
F#m C#m E Bm7
Once upon a time there was a boy named Marcus, a boy named Travis.
F#m C#m E Bm7
They liked each other more than many were used to; shared lunches, lent shoulders, long glances.
F#m C#m E Bm7
One day they were surrounded by a couple of bullies; teeth were broken, ugly words spoken.
F#m C#m E
Have you ever dreamed of a world where things like this don't happen again and again?
[Chorus]
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
We make them cowards none too shy stand up and run! Look how they flail! Up and away.
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
You’ll see for them this ain’t fun, words gon’ be more than a gun. We will prevail: They’re up and away.
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
We make them cowards none too shy stand up and run! Look how they flail! Up and away.
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
You’ll see for them this ain’t fun, words gon’ be more than a gun. We will prevail: They’re up and away.
[Verse 2]
F#m C#m E Bm7
Have you heard the story of that sweet young couple; a girl named Patricia, a guy named Corey?
F#m C#m E
When they met each other it was expected she’d brush him off; eyebrows went up at her,
Bm7
fists clenched in front of him
F#m C#m E Bm7
One day he was invited by her so-called best friends; abusing and breaking him, leaving him no choice,
F#m C#m E
but forever dreamin’ of a world where things like this don't happen again and again.
[Chorus]
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
We make them cowards none too shy stand up and run! Look how they flail! Up and away.
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
You’ll see for them this ain’t fun, words gon’ be more than a gun. We will prevail: They’re up and away.
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
We make them cowards none too shy stand up and run! Look how they flail! Up and away.
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
You’ll see for them this ain’t fun, words gon’ be more than a gun. We will prevail: They’re up and away.
[Interlude]

F#m C#m E Bm7
[Verse 3]
F#m C#m E Bm7
Saw the news about this early bloomer; unstable feelings, careless adventures.
F#m C#m E Bm7
Sent pictures that were solely for her lover’s trusted eyes; many gained insight, laughter ‘bout every byte.
F#m C#m E Bm7
They took from her then spat on our poor pure creature; never had worries, never felt hatred,
F#m C#m E
now she wants to leave for a world where things like this don’t happen again and again.
[Chorus]
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
We make them cowards none too shy stand up and run! Look how they flail! Up and away.
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
You’ll see for them this ain’t fun, words gon’ be more than a gun. We will prevail: They’re up and away.
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
We make them cowards none too shy stand up and run! Look how they flail! Up and away.
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
You’ll see for them this ain’t fun, words gon’ be more than a gun. We will prevail: They’re up and away.
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
We make them cowards none too shy stand up and run! Look how they flail! Up and away.
F#m C#m E Dmaj7
You’ll see for them this ain’t fun, words gon’ be more than a gun. We will prevail: They’re up and away.
