Even when the sky is falling down
Even when the earth is crumbling around my feet
Even when we try to say goodbye
And you can cut the tension with a knife in here

G                           C9

   we just gotta get out, we just gotta get out
G                                C9
   and if the skyscrapers tumble down and crash around then baby

and out we sing prayers go to the sky

Em7                       D/F#                    C9
   we just gotta get out, we just gotta get out

Bridge:

D2              C9

  Shadows covering (our selfish foes)

  And as our love (go out of the high note)
