Intro C
C
Some friends come in and out of view
F C
Last time I looked we were dancing like dogs on fire
C
Now I'm laughing with your little girl
F C
Laughing about my sunburn on that day
C
Oh, it's good to see her smile
F C
I remember how you held me as I cried
C
Flailing like a landed fish
F C
Trying to get back to before this day went away
F
But who would make the cut
Am G
When our time is up
F
And everyone pointing at the sky
C G
Screaming the end is nigh
C
It's coming
C
Like an explorer clearing ground
F C
Swinging your blade, flashing in the sun
C
You come right through my moped
F C
Pick me up and then was on your way
C
I treasure the stars
C
We'll always have
F C
I don't remember where we were
C
Don't think we'd return
F C
These moments are fleeting as they are pure
F
But I think you'd make the cut
Am G
When our time is up
F
Everyone pointing at the sky
C G
Screaming the end is nigh
C
It's coming
F Am G
F Am G
Everybody for the last time
F Am F
Come here to me for the last time
C
Will it be a fireball from the sky?
F C
Or will we all take to the bed
C
Laid low by a new pox?
F C
Or will the wrong guy get the codes?
C
Whose arms will I seek?
F C
Whose eyes would I meet in the final throws
C
And say it was good to be human?
F C
To be a human with you here
F
Who would make the cut
Am G
When our time is up?
F
And everyone pointing at the sky
C G
Screaming the end is nigh
F
I think you'd make the cut
Am G
When our time is up
F
And everyone pointing at the sky
C G
Screaming, the end is nigh
C
It's coming
C
Oh, hold me, it's coming
C
Hold me, it's coming
C
Hold me, it's coming
C
Hold me, it's coming
C
Hold me, it's coming
C
Hold me, it's coming
C
Hold me, it's coming
