[VERSE]
FI'm not the same man I was beforDme
I haven't Fchanged my perceptionDm  
I haven't Flost my protectionDm  
I haven't Flost, haven't lost, haven't lost
What I have, lost intentions
[CHORUS]
GmTwo by two, coming in thDmrough the door
(Singing like a bird)
GmBoys and girls, voices jDmoined in song
(Voices in the air)
GmFirecrackers making Dmso much noise
(Flying in the air)
GmThey all start yelling at me:
FEverything you do is wrong
[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE]
FI'm not the same boy I was beforDme
But I haven't cFhanged my desiresDm  
I've not extFinguished the firDmes
I haven't lFost wide-eyed wonDmder
I haven't lFost, haven't lost, haven't lost
That stupid fear of thunder
[CHORUS]
GmTwo by two walking hDmand in hand
(Walkin' in the air)
The Gmbones come marching from the PrDmomised Land
(Coming from everywhere)
Their Gmvoices carry like the sDmound of glass
(Breaking on the ground)
GmIt burns my ears when they sing
FEverything you do is wrong
F(Everything you do is wrong)
