We're alFone and brCoke but tAm7hat's okGay
There's a fFire Cin our heGarts
Yeah we miFght get caCught but we fAm7eel the sGame

If we fall oCff the map, they'll neFver kCnow
[Pre-chorus]:
         F*                C*
People talk, they live a lie

But I see truth from the colours that leak from your eyes
[Chorus]:
We're alFone and brCoke but tAm7hat's okGay
There's a fFire Cin our heGarts
Yeah we miFght get caCught but we fAm7eel the sGame
