Em A
We don't have much time
Em
The lights are on us

We could lose our minds
They're all around us

Run with me, start a revolution

Come with me through the dark
Em
As they bring their swords
We will stand to fall
A
As they try to tear us apart
Em
They shoot to kill
D
Let's run until

We're miles away
Em
The arrows fly

But you and I

Out of the line of fire
