Am
We've come, no matter how far
F
We've come, too frightened to carry on
G Dm
But imagine those deep blue skies waiting on
Am
No matter what time it takes
F
We'll run away to the lakes
G Dm
And summer will find us there waiting
F
We can see through the shadows
C G
With lights to be where we belong
Am
We can be safe in our own little place
F
Where the skyline kiss the shore
G Dm
We will go on, we will go on and on
Am
We feel alive in the waters with divers
F
The night fire warms our bones
G Dm
We will go all, we will go on and on
Am
My love, there's nothing else we can do
F
And I still have faith in you
G Dm
The stars will come out and guide us
F
Then we can see through the shadows
C G
With lights to be where we belong
Am
We can be safe in our own little place
F
Where the skyline kiss the shore
G Dm
We will go on, we will go on and on
Am
We feel alive in the waters with divers
F
The night fire warms our bones

We will go all, we will go on and on

Stay close, hold on to me

By the lakes

We can be safe in our own little place
