Tom : C
[Intro] Am F C Am F C
G|-----------------------------------| (7x)
Am F
Been standing in the corner
C
Studying the lights
Am F C
The dreaming of escape will keep you up at night
Am F
But someone had put the flares up
C
And got me in the rays
Am F C
So... I guess I'd better stay
F
'Uh uh no come on' you say
G
It's a fool's gold thunder
F
It's just a warring rain
G
Don't let the fears just start 'what if
F
I won't see you again'
G F
Around here you never want to sleep all night
G
So start falling in love, start the riot and
Am F C
Come on rage with me
Am
We don't need words
F C
And we'll be birds
Am F C
Got to make our own key
Am F
Only got this moment
C
You and me, guilty of nothing
F
But geography
G
Come on and raise it
F
Come on and raise this noise
G
For the million people
F
Who got not one voice
G
Come on it's not over if you
F
Mean it say loud
G
Come on all for Love
Am F C
Out from the underground, away with me
Am F C
We don't need words
Am F C
Close your eyes and see
Am
And we'll be birds
F C
Flying free
Am F C
Holding on in the mystery
Am F C G
Fearless go oh oh oh oh oh oh
Am F C G
Fearless together
Am F C G
When you fly won't you
Am F C G
Won't you take me too?
Am F C G
In this world so cruel
Am F C
I think you're so cool
