              A#m
When I was a boy
   D#m          C#
I saw my Daddy crying at the steering wheel
    A#m   D#m              C#
And oh it made me feel so scared
               A#m
Then there was joy
      D#m          C#
Found my religion, swimming in a choir of voices
    A#m    D#m             C#
And oh, I knew that I'd been spared

     F#                 Fm
That I'd be saved some sunny day
A#m
Saved from throwing my life away
     F#                 Fm
That I'd be saved some sunny day
     D#m
From throwing my life, throwing my life away

Chorus:
A#m          F#
Keep singing woah keep singing
D#m             D#m/C#           F#     F#/C#
Praising to the heavens with my voice ringing
A#m              F#
Keep singing woah keep singing
D#m         D#m/C#        F#         F#/C#
Clap to the beat till my hands are stinging
    A#m               D#m
And I'd be saved some sunny day
 A#m                  F                  A#m
From throwing my life, throwing my life away

And now I understand
I'm a wide-eyed father, and blessed are the children
Oh, our greatest reward
And with these hands
I'll move a mountain,
build a castle to keep you safe
Of this you know you can be sure

And you'll be saved some sunny day
Saved from throwing your life away
And you'll be saved some sunny day
From throwing your life

Chorus:
Keep singing, woah, keep singing
Praising to the heavens with your voices ringing
Keep singing, woah, keep singing
Clap to the beat til your hands are stinging
And you'll be saved some sunny day
From throwing your life, throwing your life away

           D#m
Who do you love?
        A#m
When it all comes down to truth
            F
Who do you love?
       A#m
When it all come back to you
           D#m
Who do you love?
            A#m
When you're lying in your bed
            F
Who do you love?
            F
Who do you love


A#m           F#
Keep singing, woah keep singing
A#m                 F#
Pray, Keep singing, woah keep singing
A#m                 F#
pray Keep singing, woah keep singing
A#m                     F#
Pray Keep singing, woah keep singing

And you'll be saved some sunny day
From throwing your life, throwing your life away
