Roo Panes - Stay Alive

[Intro]

C G Am

Am G F G Am G F

[Verse 1]

C G Am

There's a rhythm in rush these days

Am G F

The lights don't move and the colors don't fade

C G Am

Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams

Am G F

In a world gone shallow, in a world gone lean

C G Am

There's some things a man cannot know

Am G F

The gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow

C G Am

There's no place to run and no gasoline

Am G F

The Engine won't turn and the train won't leave

Am G F

The Engine won't turn and the train won't leave

[Chorus]

C G Am F

But I will stay with you tonight

G Am F

Hold you close 'til the morning light

C G Am F

And in the morning watch a new day rise

Am G F

We'll do whatever just to stay alive

Am G F

We'll do whatever just to stay alive

[Verse 2]

C G Am

Well the way I feel is the way I write

Am G F

It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies

C G Am

But we've got truth and it's on our side

Am G F

Dawn is coming, open your eyes

Am G F

Oh dawn is coming, open your eyes

[Chorus]

C G Am F

But I will stay with you tonight

G Am F

Hold you close 'til the morning light

C G Am

But we've got the truth and it's on our side

Am G F

Dawn is coming, open your eyes

Am G F

Oh dawn is coming, open your eyes

[Interlude]

Dawn is coming, open your eyes (x4)

There's a rhythm in rush these days

The lights don't move and the colors don't fade

C G Am

Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams

In a world gone shallow, in a world gone lean

C G Am

But we've got truth and it's on our side
