F#7M B F# F#
I have tried but it's hard to fight it
F#7M B F# F#
I can't just watch as it falls apart

If we could break the mould, make it in from the cold

VERSE 2:
F#7M B F# F#
Given time it'll finally focus
F#7M B F# F#
And in a moment that's been and gone

And in the afterglow, from my head to my soul
F#7M B F# F#
I can see all I have ignored

It's so simple but so hard to see

Take your shoes off, run towards the sea
