               Em 
I hope we make it through  
                 G 
I hope the sea is just as blue as our dream  
                                    Am 
We've got a long way to climb 
                                F  
Until we see what we left behind.  

                        Em 
We wake to the sound of drums 
                       G  
And we are the soldiers of our own events  
                                  Am 
We are the keys to the kingdom 
                                   F  
And we will never wear clothes again  

Am 
You get up  
Move around  
Every time you hear a sound  
G 
What do you expect to see  
                                        F 
Every time you look at me?  
                 Em 
I know this is gonna be alright.  

F 
Mercury summer  
         Am 
In the afternoon  
  G 
I hope you come back soon  
F 
Mercury summer 
            Am 
You just take your time  
G 
I hope to see you.  

                        Em 
So how can you fall asleep 
                      G  
So close to the fire that is keeping us warm?  
                            Am 
Sleeping out in the rough  
                                             F 
Just let me know when you've had enough.  

Am 
You get up  
Move around  
Every time you hear a sound  
G 
What do you expect to see  
                                        F 
Every time you look at me?  
                 Em 
I know this is gonna be alright.
