Capo on the first fret.
**VERSE 1 & 2**
CAs Mother GNature sings Her FrequiCem
The Fmachines all gather arCound and sing Galong
CWe hang from Gkites until the tFide comes Cin
It'll Fbe another Cweek before we know Gwhat's wrong
CWe watch the Gtrees turn into FskeleCtons
As tFhe leaves float to the Cground and fill the Gcracks
CThey'll try to Gshow us the Fimprovements Cthen
But they Fknow without a Cdoubt that we won't come Gback
**CHORUS**
CDrift to the Fmoon, write out your Cname
There's something to Gremember
CThe smile on your Fface
Cadd9Is enough to make me Gcrawl out of this Cplace
**BRIDGE**
CSo let's the chew the Ffat until the Caxis Fbends
CWell, we'll climb inside the Fsun and write our Gwills
CWe'll sell our Fsecrets to the CgoverFnment
CSo the world can eat them up Funtil they've had their Gfill
**CHORUS**
CCaught in the Frain, soaked to the Cbone
I'm nothing to Gremember
CBut the smile on your Fface
Cadd9Is enough to make me Gcrawl out of this place
CTorn paper Gbirds
FDrop from the Csky
GAnd carry my Fhome awCay
CThe rooms and the Gwalls
FClimb out and Cfall
GI hope they'll Fbe Cokay
CWhen you're Ffearless
CIt makes it Fhard to stay Dawake
CWhen you're Fgutless
CIt makes it Fhard to play the Dgame
The Ccracks in my Gspine
The Fgleam in my Ceye
The Gfork insDide my Flungs
CThey'll never Gchange
And FI'll do the Csame
The Gwar that's neDver Fwon

The war that's never won
