Am F C Been standing in the corner, 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 - ‘uh uh, no come on’ you say Fmaj7 G It’s a fool’s gold thunder, it’s just a warring rain F G Don’t let the fears just start ‘what if - I won’t see you again’ F G Around here you never want to sleep all night F G So start falling in love, start the riot and Chorus: Am Fmaj7 C Come on rage with me Am Fmaj7 C We don’t need words, and we’ll be birds Am Fmaj7 C got to make our own key Only got this moment You and me Guilty of nothing, but geography Come on and raise it Come on and raise this noise for the million people Who got not one voice Come on it’s not over if you mean it, say loud Come on all for love, out from the underground Chorus: Away with me We don’t need words Close your eyes and see And we'll be birds, flying free Holding on in the mystery Fearless, fearless, fearless Am Fmaj7 C G oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh through this together’ Am Fmaj7 C G oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Am Fmaj7 C G When you fly won’t you Won’t you take me too?
