All of this time there's been no change 
    G             Am        Em 
Cuz you've got no heart and I've got no brain 
      C

And I'll be your tornado baby, twisting through the air 
       C 
But I don't know how long I'll be here 


    G                        G4(7/9)

If we jump up and down together maybe we'll be fine
