C G C G 

C                         Am 
Look at your watch with a perilous gaze 
  C   G    C 
A troubled stare 
C              Am 
And when I ask where do we go 
    F   G     C 
Say you don't care 

F       C 
Call on me 
         Am  G  F 
When the day is dark 
G                      F 
Never too late, you're underrated 

Whatever your sins, whatever your loss 
Your cup is filled 
There is no way to turn back the clock 
No one will 

Call on me 
There's fire in your heart 
Lying in wait just like a lion 

F                  C 
Maybe we should go back to the earth 
Am               Em 
And live off the sun 
A#              Dm 
Maybe we should crawl in the dirt 
F         G 
Before we run 

A thousand years of art and song 
Love and war 
Tell me why you joined the club 
What are you fighting for 

All hands on deck 
A suicide race 
Prop up the good and smother the hate 

The wall is high the sun is low 
The four winds roar 
Wide-eyed children fill the streets 
To take back the score 

There is no truth 
That lies can make 
No willing soldiers in the wake 

Maybe we should go back to the earth 
And live off the sun 
Maybe we should crawl in the dirt 
Before we run

D       G  D 
Life is fragile 
Hm              G   D 
The flight of a sparrow 
     D 
Will end 

        A         Em 
And the same goes for us 
A                           Em 
Born from the same rain and dust 

G                  D 
Maybe we should go back to the earth 
Hm            F#m 
And life will grow 
C             Em 
And the river soon to return 
G            A 
And a plan unfold 

D                         Hm 
Look at your watch with a perilous gaze 
  D   A    D 
A troubled stare 
D              Hm 
And when I ask where do we go 
    G   A     D 
Say you don't care 

G       D 
Call on me 
         Hm  A  G 
When the day is dark 
A                      G 
Never too late, you're underrated
