[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 D7/A A7sus4/F# B7
As much as you say that we won't decay,
G G/F# Em Dmaj7 D7/A
The bombs went off a week ago.
Dmaj7 D7/A A7sus4/F# B7
The grass here is gray, been walking all day,
G G/F# Em Dmaj7 D7/A
But I'm not sure we'll make it home
[Chorus]
Em Em7 Gm
So if you trust me, hold me close and
D A/C# Bm7 F# F#7
We'll turn to sculptures made of sand.
Em Em7 Gm
Once they find us, a thousand years from now,
D A/C# Bm7 D7/A
We'll still be right here holding hands,
Gmaj7 A6 (G7) Dmaj7 D7/A Dmaj7 D7/A
Still be glowing, smiling like we didn't give a damn.
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 D7/A A7sus4/F# B7
The lights getting low, and the dust to snow,
G G/F# Em Dmaj7 D7/A
The broken windows went everywhere.
Dmaj7 D7/A A7sus4/F# B7
Your clothes may be torn, but I'll keep you warm,
G G/F# Em Dmaj7 D7/A
I'll shade your eyes from the firestorm.
[Chorus]
Em Em7 Gm
So if you trust me, hold me close and...
D A/C# Bm7 D7/A
We'll turn to sculptures made of sand.
Em Em7 Gm
Once they find us, a thousand years from now,
D A/C# Bm7 D7/A
We'll still be right here holding hands,
Gmaj7 F#/A (G7) Dmaj7 D7/A Dmaj7 D7/A
Still be glowing, smiling like we didn't give a damn.

Still be glowing, smiling like we didn't give a damn.
