I [C#] [B]
[E] [C#]
[E] [C#] [E]
[C#] [Em]
cannot [E] lie, [C#] [B] I [E] should have thought it over.
[C#] [B]
There [E] was a sign, [C#] [E] I opened with a closer.
[C#] [B]
[E] I flew away, [C#] away, [B] away.
[E] Kept my composure [C#] as [Bm]
[E] she waved.
[C#] [B] Did I [E] become another [C#] castaway?
Hey, hey, [A] hey.
If I [B] simply turned around [G#m] or counted [A] one to five,
will you [B] have to leave your [G#m] home to keep your [E] name alive?
[C#m] [E]
Well, I guess I had to fight it for myself.
[C#] [B] The house [E] remained divided.
[C#] [B] [E] Locked the door,
[C#] [E] our mirrors all one-sided.
[C#] [F#] [E] But the day went [C#] on today, [B] [E] and still no further.
[C#] [E] Breaking waves [C#] [E] rendered me another
[C#] castaway.
[F#] Hey, hey, [A] hey.
If I [B] simply turned around [G#m] or counted one [A] to five,
will you [B] have to leave your [G#m] home to keep your [A] name alive?
After [B] you've slowed far away, [G#] well, it's too late [A] to die.
Failing [B] further, imagine us.
[G#m] Keep your [E] name alive.
[C#m] [B] Keep your [E] name alive.
La, la, la, [C#] la, la, la, la, la.
[E] [C#] Hey, hey, hey.
[F#] I [E] flew away, [C#] away, away.
[F#m] If I [G#m] simply turned around [C#m] or [F#] counted one [A] to five,
[F#m] does there need [G#m] to travel [C#m] far in [F#] order to [A] arrive?
[F#m] After [G#m] you've slowed far away, [C#m] well, it's too deep [A] to die.
You don't have [B] to leave your [G#m] home to keep your name [E] alive.
[C#m] Keep your [E] name alive.
[C#m] [B] [E]
[C#m] [E] Keep your name alive.
