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?
In this world so cruel
I think you’re so cool
