C   G/C      C       F/C      C
Another year you made a   promise
C   G/C         C         F      G
Another chance to turn it all around
C      G/C      C         F/C   C
And do not save this for tomorrow
C       G/C           C         F      G
Embrace the past and you can live for now
Am         F         G       C
And I will give the world to you

C      G/C         C         F/C    C
Speak louder than the words before you
C         G/C      C          F        G
And give them meaning no one else has found
C        G/C      C     F/C    C
The role we play is so important
C      G/C   C            F     G
We are the voices of the underground
Am          F         G       C
And I would give the world to you

C      G/C      C      F/C    C
Say everything you've always wanted
C      G/C    C            F     G
Be not afraid of who you really are
C        G/C      C      F/C    C
Cause in the end we have each other
C         G/C            C/E         F     G                   
And that's at least one thing worth living for
Am          F         G       C
And I would give the world to you

C     G/C       C         F/C    C
A million suns that shine upon me
C      G/C      C            F       G
A million eyes you are the brightest blue
C         G/C       C         F/C    C
Lets tear the walls down that divide us
C         G/C            C        F     G  
And build a statue strong enough for two

  Am       F       C       G
I pass it back to you
   Am       F       C       G
And I will wait for you,
      Am       F       G
Cause I would give the world
    Am       F       G
And I would give the world
   Am       F       G            C
And I would give the world to you

C       G/C     C

We are the voices
