D               E
Even when the sky
           A/C#
is falling down
              D
Even when the earth
              D
is crumbling around
       E A/C# D
my feet
D
Even when
     E
we try to say
    A/C#
goodbye And you
             D
can cut the tension
         D         E A/C# D
with a knife in here

      D
Cause I know
what will happen
E/G#
If we get
through this

Chorus:
A
And if the earth
          D
ends up crumbling
down to it's knees
    F#m
baby   We just gotta
       E/G#
get out    We just
           D
gotta get out
A
And if these
skyscrapers
D
tumble down and
crash around baby
F#m
We just gotta
       E/G#
get out    We just
            D E A/C# D
gotta get out

'Cause I feel so damn lost
And it comes with a cost of being alone
Everything is falling down, we're suffering
Helpless thoughts and out we sing,
prayers go to the sky

Chorus:
And if the earth ends up
crumbling down to its knees, then, baby
We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out
(Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get out)
And if the skyscrapers
tumble down and crash around, then, baby
We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out

E          D
And if we fall
It's not your
     E
fault Shadows
D
covering Our
selfish foes
E
And as our
D
love Can go out
      E        D
on a high note

Even when the sky is falling down
Even when the earth is crumblin' around my feet
Around my feet

Chorus:
And if the earth ends up crumbling
down to its knees, then, baby
We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out
(Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get out)
And if the skyscrapers tumble down
and crash around, then, baby
We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out

We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out
We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out
We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out
