F#             G#m
I don't wanna fight
                D#m                     E
My money's in a bag in the back for you
             E   F#
The future's overdue
                F# G#m
Yeah I know that
F#              G#m
Turn the engine on
                            D#m  E
Our song blaring out a Dead radio
            E       F#
Singing 'I Need To Know'
              F# E
No turning back

Chorus:
B                                      F#
I've been thinkin' babe, maybe you're right
                                    F#
When you said the pain weathers in time
            E
We're just waiting for a change to follow
B                               F#
We don't always get all that we want
                               F#
Redefine the pain to something more
     E
And we shall overcome as we've done before

Scrolling through a life
I barely recognised from a hotel room
Took in the lonely view
Got unattached (Hey)
Bringer of the calm
Your arms wrapped around when the fever took
Thought I was gone for good
You brought me back

Chorus

              B                 F#
It's when we lean in, into the moment
                 F#                     E
It's when we're reaching through the divide
              B                F#
It's when we begin feeling the open
                F#                E
It's when the stranger's fallen behind
When we shake off the darkness
                     B
And harness the light

Chorus

     E                                 B   F# F#
And we shall overcome as we've done before
     E
And we shall overcome as we've done before
