[Em] Success an empty [A] line.
[G] The treasure hunt [F#m] is lonely [Em] until you [A] realize.

We came to take [Em] it up.
We came to [A] move it up.
[D] Well, I promise [F#m] you this.
I [G] will do my best [D] today.
Somebody [F#m] keep trying to make me, trying [G] to make me lose [D] my way.
But I believe, oh [F#m] my darling.
[G]
[D] I believe in you.
And when [F#m] you hear this, you'll [G] remember we [D] were set to do.

[G] If you still got [D] the friends.
We can really [F#m] move this world [G] to right.
