Verse 1:
C#
We went rolling up the coast til
C#/F F#
there was no more coast to wander
C#
We tried every different road
C#/F F#
just to see which took us further
C#
We were living on the run but
C#/F F#
there was no one chasing after
C#
We were looking out for love and
C#/F F#
we were flirting with disaster
G#
While the world fades out
Chorus 1:
C#
We stayed in the sun too long
F#
Suffered a terrible burn
G# F#
Now everybody learns from disaster
C#
We stayed on the run too long
F#
Hoping we'd never return
G# F#
Now everybody learns from disaster
G#
We watched the sun burn
C#(piano)
down into cinders
Interlude: C# - - C#/F - F# - x2
Verse 2:
C#
We turned out into the planes
C#/F F#
we turned in when we got tired
C#
We slept two across the bench
C#/F F#
and we fit three under the covers
C#
We had just enough cash left to
C#/F F#
top the tent and fill the cooler
C#
And we lit the van with dreams
C#/F F#
until the sun turned into cinders
G#
And the world fades out
(Repeat Chorus 1)
