Key: D#
[Verse 1]
DWe're young we have a lot of dreams
BmWe'll fly to PAris and Madrid 
GPack my suitcase and I'll leAave
DThe weather here is getting cold
BmPut on a jacket or a coat
GBut that's enough about mAe
[Chorus]
DSo let's fly and enjoy the lights
BmIf you can't see life is beautiful I'll take you to the London eye
GDoesn't really matter where we go
ACatch the next train to Tokyo
DWe'll get lost on the country sides
BmWith our heavy bags we'll put our thumbs up for a hitch hike
GIf we're lucky there will be a passerby
AIf not we'll pitch a tent under the moonlightD  
[Verse 2]
DOne night in France you'll never leave
BmSippin' on wine time will not keep
GWhat I've learnt is c'est la vieA  
DWalk straight you'll see it's Portugal
BmTurn right is Rio de Janeiro
GTime will not let me stopA  
[Chorus]
DSo let's fly and enjoy the lights
BmIf you can't see life is beautiful I'll take you to the London eye
GDoesn't really matter where we go
ACatch the next train to Tokyo
DWe'll get lost on the country sides
BmWith our heavy bags we'll put our thumbs up for a hitch hike
GIf we're lucky there will be a passerby
AIf not we'll pitch a tent under the moonlightD

Key: D#

[Verse 1]

We're young we have a lot of dreams

We'll fly to PAris and Madrid

G A

Pack my suitcase and I'll leave

The weather here is getting cold

Put on a jacket or a coat

G A

But that's enough about me

[Chorus]

So let's fly and enjoy the lights

If you can't see life is beautiful I'll take you to the London eye

Doesn't really matter where we go

Catch the next train to Tokyo

We'll get lost on the country sides

With our heavy bags we'll put our thumbs up for a hitch hike

If we're lucky there will be a passerby

A D

If not we'll pitch a tent under the moonlight

[Verse 2]

One night in France you'll never leave

Sippin' on wine time will not keep

G A

What I've learnt is c'est la vie

Walk straight you'll see it's Portugal

Turn right is Rio de Janeiro

G A

Time will not let me stop

[Chorus]

So let's fly and enjoy the lights

If you can't see life is beautiful I'll take you to the London eye

Doesn't really matter where we go

Catch the next train to Tokyo

We'll get lost on the country sides

With our heavy bags we'll put our thumbs up for a hitch hike

If we're lucky there will be a passerby

A D

If not we'll pitch a tent under the moonlight

[Bridge]

Bm G D

Cause sometimes you just wanna leave

Bm A D

Take a deep breath and breathe

Bm G D

Cause sometimes you wanna be alone

G A

So let's go let's go

[Instrumental]

D Bm G A

With our heavy bags we'll put our thumbs up for a hitch hike

If we're lucky there will be a passerby
