[Verse 1]
G
I left you in the shelter
Em Bm
On a wet waikato day
G
The rain came like a flood
Em Bm
Washed our stamping ground away
G
And so the ties were broken (never look back)
Em Bm
Our situation's changed (Kia kaha)
G
I wonder to myself now
Em Bm
If we are still the same
[Chorus]
D7sus/C G D7sus/C G
We used to laugh at the words of the old school song (Kia kia kia kia)
D7sus/C G D7sus/C G
But now I hope that you will ever be strong (Kia kaha)
[Verse 2]
G
We gathered in the basement
Em Bm
Like some religious sect
G
A band of idle dreamers
Em Bm
In a small town safety net
G
It's been as long as five years
Em Bm
Since we were face to face (Kia kaha)
G
We're feeling for the first time
Em Bm
Should have something to show for our age
[Chorus]
D7sus/C G D7sus/C G
We used to laugh at the words of the old school song (Kia kia kia kia)
D7sus/C G D7sus/C G
But now I hope that you will ever be strong (Kia kaha)
D7sus/C G D7sus/C G
When I left town I thought an angel watched over me (Kia kia kia kia)
D7sus/C G
It was a shock to find the devil inside me, beside me (Kia kaha)
[Maori Haka]
Bm A (x8)
[Outro]
D7sus/C G
Where did it go, I never noticed it passing
D7sus/C G
Already it's a long time ago...
