[Verse 1]
Emaj7 E7/B A7sus4/G# C#7
As much as you say that we won't decay,
A A/G# F#m Emaj7 E7/B
The bombs went off a week ago.
Emaj7 E7/B A7sus4/G# C#7
The grass here is gray, been walking all day,
A A/G# F#m Emaj7 E7/B
But I'm not sure we'll make it home
[Chorus]
F#m F#m7 Am
So if you trust me, hold me close and
E B/D# C#m7 G# G#7
We'll turn to sculptures made of sand.
F#m F#m7 Am
Once they find us, a thousand years from now,
E B/D# C#m7 E7/B
We'll still be right here holding hands,
Amaj7 B6 (G7) Emaj7 E7/B Emaj7 E7/B
Still be glowing, smiling like we didn't give a damn.
[Verse 2]
Emaj7 E7/B A7sus4/G# C#7
The lights getting low, and the dust to snow,
A A/G# F#m Emaj7 E7/B
The broken windows went everywhere.
Emaj7 E7/B A7sus4/G# C#7
Your clothes may be torn, but I'll keep you warm,
A A/G# F#m Emaj7 E7/B
I'll shade your eyes from the firestorm.
[Chorus]
F#m F#m7 Am
So if you trust me, hold me close and...
E B/D# C#m7 E7/B
We'll turn to sculptures made of sand.
F#m F#m7 Am
Once they find us, a thousand years from now,
E B/D# C#m7 E7/B
We'll still be right here holding hands,
Amaj7 G#/B (G7) Emaj7 E7/B Emaj7 E7/B
Still be glowing, smiling like we didn't give a damn.

Once they find us, a thousand years from now,
E B/D# C#m7 E7/B
We'll still be right here holding hands,

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