Intro: G  D  Em  C (Repeat once)

G          D     Em         C
One comes of it, love it, love it
G      D     Em           C
Let go of it, love comes from it
G         D       Em        C
We're not of this world for long.

G         D       Em        C
Faith and promise keep me honest
G        D       Em      C
When starvation, falls upon us
G        D       Em       C
Daylight told me he would be.

G  D  Em  C

G         D           Em      C
Gone with cold words, spoke among hers
G        D      Em          C
Wretched is the tongue of their world
G         D       Em       C
We're not of that world at all
G         D   Em
We will never be.

Cm          G  D       Em
Wouldn't it be fine to stand
Bm          C                   G        D
behind the words we say in the best of times?
G      D              Em
Oh and you and I know all too well
Bm                  C        G     D       C      D
about the hell and paradise right here on Earth. 


G       D
Keep it use it
Em         C
Build it move it
G            D         Em          C
Flames can't touch how time will prove it
G        D      Em      C
Watch us fly as loud as we can
G        D      
Let her heart be
Em          C     D
Change what I am now.

C           G  D       Em
Wouldn't it be fine to stand
Bm         C                    G       D
behind the words we say in the best of times?
G      D              Em     
Oh and you and I know all too well
Bm                 C        G     D       C
about the hell and paradise right here on Earth.
