3) ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN
CStripped to the waist
We fall into the river
Cover your eyes
So you don't know the secret
I've been trying to hideF
We held our breath
To see our names are written
On the wreck of '86C
That was the year
I knew the panic was over
Yes since we found outDm
Since we found out
FThat anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happenDm
Anything could happen
FAnything could happen
Anything could happen
C– Em- C- Em
Anything could
CAfter the war we said we'd fight together
I guess we thought that's just what humans do
Letting darkness growF
As if we need its palette and we need its colour
But now I've seen it throughDm
And now I know the truth
That anything could happenF
Anything could happen
Anything could happenDm
Anything could happen
Anything could happenF
Anything could happen
C- Em– C- Em

But I don't think I need youC
Stripped to the waist
We fall into the river
Cover your eyes
So you don't know the secret
I've been trying to hideF
We held our breath
To see our names are written
On the wreck of '86C
That was the year
I knew the panic was over
Yes since we found outDm

And we'll talk, see what conversation rouses when we're alone, when we're alone, it could be home
When it's just us
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
You show me what it feels like to be lost
I take your hand for you to let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
It's gonna be, it's gonna be better

The nights you could cope, your intentions were gold
But the mountains will shake
I need to know I can still make

Cause it's simple darling, I gave yoFu a warningGm
Now everything you own is falling fBbrom the sky in piecesDm
So watch them fall with yoFu, in slow motionGm
I pray that you will find peace of miBbnd
And I'll find you another timeDm
I'll Clove you, another timeGm
Chorus:

Explosions...on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learnedDm C Am

C Em D
That feeling that doesn't go away just did
C Em D
And I walked a thousand miles to prove it
C Em D
And I'm caught in the crossfire of my own thoughts
C Em D
The colour of my blood is all I see on the rocks
C Em D
As you sail from me
C Em D
Alarms will ring for eternity
C Em D
The waves will break every chain on me
C
My bones will bleach
Em D
My flesh will flee
C Em D
So help my lifeless frame to breathe
Chorus:
C G D
And God knows I'm not dying but I breathe now
C G D
And God knows it's the only way to heal now
C G D
With all the blood I lost with you
C G D
It drowns the love I thought I knew
C Em D
The lost dreams I buried in my sleep for him
C Em D
And this was the ecstacy of love forgotten
C Em D
And I'm thrown in the gunfire of empty bullets
C Em D
And my blood is all I see
C Em D
As you steal my soul from me
C Em D
Alarms will ring for eternity
C Em D
The waves will break every chain on me
Chorus:
C G D
And God knows I'm not dying but I breathe now
C G D
And God knows it's the only way to heal now
C G D
With all the blood I lost with you
C G D
It drowns the love I thought I knew
3) ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN

Stripped to the waist
We fall into the river
Cover your eyes
So you don't know the secret

I've been trying to hide
We held our breath

On the wreck of '86
That was the year
I knew the panic was over

We fall into the river
Cover your eyes
So you don't know the secret

I've been trying to hide
We held our breath
To see our names are written
C
On the wreck of '86
That was the year
I knew the panic was over

We'll take a long walk, down the alleys of these houses
And we'll talk, see what conversation rouses when we're alone, when we're alone, it could be home
When it's just us
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
You show me what it feels like to be lost
I take your hand for you to let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
It's gonna be, it's gonna be better
It's gonna be better, it's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
