 C         G
This is a garden,
            C
This is a steeple
             G                          C
I hear the crowd before I ever see the people
              G
Yours for the asking,
             C
And for the taking
            G                          C
There is a power in the vacuum we are making

Am                Bm             C
You and I have a secret woh woh world
            Bm          Am
And we can keep it unfurled
              D
And pay no attention
                       G
To the cradle or the grave

Chorus:
                 C
And when we're crossed,
                       G
We can say that we're lost
                  C
In the middle of nowhere
                        G
Think you'll like it a lot
               C
And if we're wrong
                G
And we end up alone
               Em
We'll light a candle
          D         C
For their innocent bones

You and I have a secret world
And we can keep it unfurled
And pay no attention
to the cradle or the grave

You and I have a secret world
And we can keep it unfurled
And pay no attention
to the cradle or the grave

Chorus

You and I have a secret world
And we can keep it unfurled
And pay no attention
to the cradle or the grave

Chorus - x2
