F#/C#                B/F#      F#/C#
A year from now, we won't be pretty
F#/C#                C#        F#/C#
A year from now, we won't be young
F#/C#             B/F#      F#/C#
But we will live among the giants
F#/C#              C#     F#/C#
Before the giants learn to run

B/F#            F#/C#
Now we are the blessed
B/F#            A#/F  Am/E
Now we are the strong
G#m/D#             C#
Take my hand, and let me know
     D#m C#  B/F# C#
That it feels good
            F#/C#
To feel at home

We would sail across the ocean
If cloudy skies should take our friends
And we will learn from the giants
Before the giants learn from them

Now we are the blessed
Now we are the strong
Take my hand, and let me know
That it feels good
To feel at home

Chorus:
F#/C#
What can I say
B/F#      F#/C#
Without a say?
B/F#       F#/C#    C#
We've got a way to go
F#/C#
And what can I do
B/F#           F#/C#
To get back to you
B/F#        F#/C#      C#
And help us to find a home
    D#m       C#    D#m  B/F#
To search the Green and Town

A year from now
We won't be lovers
We'll just be suits and ties and shoes
And we will grow without our parents
Cause soon we will be giants too

Now we are the blessed
Now we are the strong
Take my hand, and let me know
That it feels good
To feel at home

And I will search the town
B
But I will never
F#
Find a one like you
