B A E G5 F#5 E
B A E G5 F#5 E
[Verse 1]
B
Into the great unknown
A B E D#5
In fear of losing our home
B A
With the stroke of a pen
E G5 F#5
Threatening to erase us
B
Our lives can be revoked
A B E D#5
Hard won rights in limbo
B A
When your shield's on the books

It's thin as the pages
[Pre-Chorus]
E F# B D#5 C#5 B
Well I'd never take us for renegades
E F# B D#5 C#5 B
But when I hold your hand we look menacing
E F# B D#5 C#5 B
So now the tide could change for us suddenly
E F#
And we'll need to run
[Chorus]
B E F# B
I swear I'll keep us free
D#m E5 D#5 C#5 B
No border crossing will rip you away from me
A E G5 F#5
Hold on tight, I'll never let them take you
B E F# B
I know it might turn out to be
D#m E5 D#5 C#5 B
The rest of our lives as rainbow refugees
A E G5 F#5
Hold on tight, our love will help us break through

B
Our time is running low
A B E D#5
When will we lose our coast?
B A
In the wind and the rain
E G5 F#5
They ain't gonna save us
B
When they need to take control
A B E D#5
We'll be deemed expendable
B A
When there's nowhere to live
E G5 F#5
They won't need to cage us
[Pre-Chorus]
E F# B D#5 C#5 B
Well I'd never take us for renegades

And we'll need to run

The rest of our lives as rainbow refugees

Hold on tight, our love will help us break through
[Bridge]
G#5 C#5
When they changed up the regime
G#5 D#5
We knew we'd be losing sleep
E5
We laid our best plans
F#5
Filled our go-bags with our dreams
A5
And, oh, I hope we find our friends
B5
But I know I'll be with you till the end
[Pre-Chorus]
E F# B D#5 C#5 B
Well I'd never take us for renegades

I know it might turn out to be
D#m E5 D#5 C#5 B
The rest of our lives as rainbow refugees

[Outro]
B A E
Oh my god, I never thought it'd be this soon
B A E
No more time, no waiting to be rescued
B A
Hold on tight, I'll never let them
