INTRO: C - G - C - F - C - G - C

F   Am   G  Am     F                      C               F
The moon is on the bright side, but we've thought of everything,
         C                        F     G          C
Send the word to the prisoners, tonight, we getaway,
         E                Am           E                    Am
When you hear signs of confusion, come drifting through the door,
            F                             C         G
Get your belongings together, don't leave nothing behind,
    C   G    C  F               C     
And hey boys tonight we get away,
G      F     G
To the other side,
C            F                C    G - C - F - G - F - G
Head for the wall and get away


F      Am  G   Am       F                 C              F
We're sick and tired of hearing, that the world is gonna blow,
           C                         F          G          C
So there's something we'll do to the leaders, before we go,
      E                     Am                    E                  Am
Let's stick 'em in a room together - Yeah!! - and make them fight it out,
               F                                C          G
Until they see nothing from nothing, will leave nothing at all, 
    C   G    C  F               C     
And hey boys tonight we get away,
G      F     G
To the other side,
C            F                C    G - C - F - G - F - G
Head for the wall and get away

E            Am  E              Am            E                     Am
Open the door - open the door - let me out - open the door - I wanna go 

A - E7 E7-9  Am  E7 - E7-9 - Am  
  Das ist auch__ unsere Welt,
  This is our world too,
  Oui c'est notre monde aussi,

C   G    C  F               C     
Hey boys tonight we get away,
G      F     G
To the other side,
