               Am
Is your secret safe tonight?
            G
And are we out of sight?
             F                   E
Or will our world come tumbling down?

                    Am
Will they find our hiding place?
             G
Is this our last embrace?
             F
Or will the walls start caving in?

F                                                         Am
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) But it should've been right
                                                      G
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) Let our hearts ignite
                                                      F
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) Are we digging a hole?

(It could be wrong, could be wrong) This is outta control
                                                   Am
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) It could never last
                                                      G
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) Left to raise it fast
                                                          F
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) But it could've been right
(It could be wrong, could be)

Chorus:
               C
Love is our resistance
                                                    G
They keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down
     Am                    Am/G       F     E
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed

If we live a life in fear
I'll wait a thousand years
Just to see you smile again

Kill your prayers for love and peace
You'll wake the thought police
We can't hide the truth inside

It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right
It could be wrong, could be wrong, to let our hearts ignite
It could be wrong, could be wrong, are we digging a hole?
It could be wrong, could be wrong, this is out of control
It could be wrong, could be wrong, it can never last
It could be wrong, could be wrong, must erase it fast
It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it could have been right
It could be wrong, could be....

Chorus

               C
The night has reached its end
    G
We can't pretend
         F Am G
We must run
         F Am G
We must run
              F Am G E F
It's time to run

 A            Dm
Take us away from here
    A               Dm      C
Protect us from further harm
   G
Resistance!
