VERSE 1:
        C#m             E
When we all had finally washed ashore
         F#m                         F#?
It was clear there was no one else around
       C#m             E
We declared a national holiday
  F#m                         C#m    B
a chance to build it from the ground

PRECHORUS:
   C#m  B
So far away
     A            F#?                E
From everyone and everything starts today

CHORUS:
E                F#m
Let's keep it together
E                F#m
Can we keep it together
E               F#m       A
We're singing a new song now
    F#?                E
and everything starts today

VERSE 2:
       C#m              E
Can we rise can we get along alright
       F#m                            F#?
Can we miss the storm that sucked the whole world in
        C#m                              E
And the bulbs went out all night and the choppers in the sky
      F#m                            C#m      B
They searched but they could find no trace of us

PRECHORUS & CHORUS

BRIDGE:
    C#m
The thunder struck the clouds appear
  E
I feel this crew is not prepared
    B
And pretty soon the boats came for us
F#m            E
Half a million strong
   C#m
We gathered arms, we fired shells
   E
We build a wall around ourselves
    B               F#m
and pretty soon the spirit was a
E                  B               C#m  E  F#m
A lot like what it used to be back home

PRECHORUS & CHORUS
