Verse
Am Am/F G Dm7
It seems they haul their diamonds straight from the mine
Am Am/F G Dm7
You kept on digging brother, the well's run dry
Am Am/F G Dm7
You ran away from home, what did you find?
Am Am/F G Dm7
Is this your great escape that jug o' wine?

It's a shame, such a shame

It's only make believe, my friend
C Cmaj9 F Dm7
It's only make believe, my friend
[Verse 2]
Am Am/F G Dm7
Look at the starlings how they, they paint the sky
Am Am/F G Dm7
And how they need each other like you and I

Here in the swarm of bees outside their hive
Am Am/F G Dm7
Apart for everyone, all in good time

We are the same, we are the same

The wolf is chasing us and it won't quit

Be the flame, be the flame
