Verse 1:
C#5
We went rolling up the coast til
C#5 F#5
there was no more coast to wander
C#5
We tried every different road
C#5 F#5
just to see which took us further
C#5
We were living on the run but
C#5 F#5
there was no one chasing after
C#5
We were looking out for love and
C#5 F#5
we were flirting with disaster
G#5
While the world fades out
Chorus 1:
C#5
We stayed in the sun too long
F#5
Suffered a terrible burn
G#5 F#5
Now everybody learns from disaster
C#5
We stayed on the run too long
F#5
Hoping we'd never return
G#5 F#5
Now everybody learns from disaster
G#5
We watched the sun burn
C#(piano)
down into cinders
Interlude: C#5 - - C#5 - F#5 - x2
Verse 2:
C#5
We turned out into the planes
C#5 F#5
we turned in when we got tired
C#5
We slept two across the bench
C#5 F#5
and we fit three under the covers
C#5
We had just enough cash left to
C#5 F#5
top the tent and fill the cooler
C#5
And we lit the van with dreams
C#5 F#5
until the sun turned into cinders
G#5
And the world fades out
(Repeat Chorus 1)
