Fm
We keep going,
Ab
Don't stop running.
Bbm
They keep selling,
Cm
We don't want it.
Fm
So close to it,
Ab Bbm Bbm Bm Cm
Almost found a way.
Fm
Two steps closer,
Ab
They keep coming.
Bbm
We keep yelling,
Cm
"We don't want it !"
Fm
Almost fed-up,
Ab Bbm Bbm Bm Cm
This thing's bound to break.
Fm Bbm
Why don't you make yourself available.
Cm Fm
Sit back, she told me that she wanted it free.
Bbm Cm
It's easy.
Fm Bbm
Oh no, in love I'm just an animal.
Cm Fm
You said you want me, but you want me to leave,
Bbm
You want me, but you want, you want me to leave.
Cm
Until the end, because:
We keep going,
Don't stop running.
They keep selling,
We don't want it.
So close to it,
Almost found a way.
And everyday they get:
Two steps closer,
They keep coming.
We keep yelling,
We don't want it.
Almost fed-up,
This thing's bound to break.
After it all, it's still repairable.
I know that I've forgotten my history.
It's easy.
Let's wave goodbye to all the terrible.
I know that there's a million things we could be,
If we could only dole it out and agree.
Until the end, because:
We keep going,
Don't stop running.
They keep selling,
We don't want it.
So close to it,
Almost found a way.
And everyday they get:
Two steps closer,
They keep coming.
We keep yelling,
We don't want it.
Almost fed-up,
This thing's bound to break.
Bbm
Thought it was a holiday,
Cm
Always play and never work.
Bbm
But they sell us all the bait,
Cm
The western way, I go berserk, I go.
