[Verse 1]
Amaj7 A7/E A7sus4/C# F#7
As much as you say that we won't decay,
D D/C# Bm Amaj7 A7/E
The bombs went off a week ago.
Amaj7 A7/E A7sus4/C# F#7
The grass here is gray, been walking all day,
D D/C# Bm Amaj7 A7/E
But I'm not sure we'll make it home
[Chorus]
Bm Bm7 Dm
So if you trust me, hold me close and
A E/G# F#m7 C# C#7
We'll turn to sculptures made of sand.
Bm Bm7 Dm
Once they find us, a thousand years from now,
A E/G# F#m7 A7/E
We'll still be right here holding hands,
Dmaj7 E6 (G7) Amaj7 A7/E Amaj7 A7/E
Still be glowing, smiling like we didn't give a damn.
[Verse 2]
Amaj7 A7/E A7sus4/C# F#7
The lights getting low, and the dust to snow,
D D/C# Bm Amaj7 A7/E
The broken windows went everywhere.
Amaj7 A7/E A7sus4/C# F#7
Your clothes may be torn, but I'll keep you warm,
D D/C# Bm Amaj7 A7/E
I'll shade your eyes from the firestorm.
[Chorus]
Bm Bm7 Dm
So if you trust me, hold me close and...
A E/G# F#m7 A7/E
We'll turn to sculptures made of sand.
Bm Bm7 Dm
Once they find us, a thousand years from now,
A E/G# F#m7 A7/E
We'll still be right here holding hands,
Dmaj7 C#/E (G7) Amaj7 A7/E Amaj7 A7/E
Still be glowing, smiling like we didn't give a damn.
