Where did all the people go?
Gm                                      Eb
They got scared when the lights went low.
Bb                           F
I get you through it nice and slow,

When the world's spinning out of control.

Afraid of what they might lose
Gm                                      Eb
Might get scraped or they might get bruised.
Bb                           F
You could beg and what's the use
            Gm                             Eb

I'll search if you don't see it,

You're thirsty, I'll be rain,

When you get worried I'll be your soldier.

Funny when times get hard,
Gm                                      Eb
At the last moment when you're supposed to charge,
Bb                       F
We're always on the longest yard,
Gm                                      Eb
Oh they feel their feet get cold.

Bb                       F
Hiding here, hiding there,
Gm                                      Eb
Find them underneath the stairs,
Bb                       F
People hiding everywhere,

Trying to be still like a stone.

You get hurt, I'll take your pain.

But I said it and I still mean it,

When you heard what I told you,

When you get worried I'll be your soldier.

My aim is so true,

I'm never gonna say "surrender".
