Bm7   E	 F#m
Dont be afraid
       E       Bm7
its a harmless moon.
     E	  F#m
All we can do
    E	Bm7
is to assume
       E	F#m
our lives must change,
    E	    Bm7
a change is due.
   E	   F#m
I hear you say
          E
what are we gonna do?

Chorus:
Bm	       E
I don't know, make it
F#m             E
I don't know, shake it
Bm	        E       F#m
I don't know, break it down
              E
What are you want to do
I don't know, make it
I don't know, shake it
I don't know, break it down

Oh, weeping night
Oh, grieving sky
Oh, rabbit wind
You just flew by

Grant me this
Some small reward
Don't announce
The time of the final call

Chorus:
I don't know, make it
I don't know, shake it
I don't know, break it down
What are you want to do
I don't know, make it
I don't know, shake it
I don't know, break it down

My dream was this
Across the sky
A slate-grey cloud
That filled the eye
A slate-grey cloud
Comes through the dust
Locust

Chorus:
I don't know, make it
I don't know, shake it
I don't know, break it down
What are you want to do
I don't know, make it
I don't know, shake it
I don't know, break it down

Don't be afraid
It's a harmless moon
Don't be afraid
It's a harmless moon
