This is just the main body of this great track by foals. Sounds good on acoustic guitar
[Intro]
Bm (It sounds nice to arpeggio this during the intro)
When I come to walk the line
The fire may come, but we'll be just fine
When I go to walk the line
The fire, it will come but we'll be just fine
Bm E Bm
D A Bm
[Verse 1]
BmMouth of the ocean, be well spoken
AWatch your P's and DQ's
BmNow that we're older, the future is colder
ABut what is there to Ddo?
BmI'll walk the line, I'll be just fine
AI'll be right back on Dtime
BmThe fire is coming, but we'll outrun it
AWe'll never be Dundone
Bm A D
Bm A D
E (play the E short here and at the end of the lines)
[Chorus]
DWhat came of the Ethings we once F#mbelieved?E  
DOh, all lost to the Edepths of a hungry F#mseaE  
DOh, what came of the Ethings we once F#mbelieved?E  
DOh, all lost to the Edepths of a hungry F#mseaE  
Bm A D
Bm A D
[Verse 2]
BmAnd now our parents are long departed
AWho can finish the Dsongs they started?
BmBodies are broken, but it's just a token
AOf what is surely Dto come
BmUnstitch the suture, please pause the future
ASo I can collect my Dthings
BmThe fire is coming, but we'll outrun it
AWe'll never be Dundone
E (again, just play this short as the chorus kicks in)
[Chorus]
DWhat came of the Ethings we once F#mbelieved?E  
DOh, all lost to the Edepths of a hungry F#mseaE  
DOh, what came of the Ethings we once F#mbelieved?E  
DOh, all lost to the Edepths of a hungry F#mseaE
