_ _ [B] _ [C#m] We _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ were in [A] around the [B] world, each a thread.
[E] _ There were [A] circles around [B] the sun.
_ [C#] Never give up, [A] never slow [B] down.

_ _ Even [A] with the evening [B] stars.
They [C#] were true loves, [A] written [B] in stone.
They [C#] were never [F#] alone, they [Am] were never [B] that far _ _ [B] apart.
[G#] _
_ _ [E] _ [F#] And we [A] who were there [B] could barely breathe [C#m] mind naked.
[F#] We got to close [B] our eyes.

[C#] They're a little [F#m] too sweet, [A] they're a little [B] too tight.
[C#m] They're not enough tough [A] for this [B] town.
_ [E] _ _
Couldn't cut [A] away the ten [B] foot pole.
[E]
No, it didn't [A] seem to rattle [B] at all.
They [C#] were glued [F#m] together, body [B] and soul.
[C#] That [F#m] much more [A] with their backs _
[B] against the wall.
_ _ [C#] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [C#] _ [C#m] Hold them up, _ [A] hold [B] them up.
Never [A] do let [B] them fall.
[C#] _ [A] Pray to the rock [B] and the dust [C#] and the [A] moon.

Well, I had it [A] happen [B] someday [E] soon.

[B] _ _ [C#] Take the sky [A] and sink the [B] ground.
[E] Oh yes, [A] all their hearts were [B] _ [E] broken.
_ Yeah, [A] all their dreams ran [B] dry.
[C#m] But our [F#] golden ones [A] went on [B] and on.
[C#m] To another [F#m] land [A] beneath [B] another [E] sky.
Let other [A] hearts be [B] _
[E] broken.
_ _ Let other [A] dreams [B] run dry.
But [C#m] our golden ones [A] went [B] on and on.
[C#m] To [F#m] another [A] land beneath [B] another _ sky.
[E] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
