From a million miles away

[Chorus]

Stuck without a captain or a chart

Dm F

No one seems to know just who to follow anymore

Am C

Hang on, hang on

F C

There's a twilight, a nighttime, and a dawn

Am C

Who knows, how long

F C G

So hang on, hang on

[Verse 2]

C Gm F

If we fell inside a forest, would it make a sound?

C Gm F

Doesn't seem there's anyone around

Am G F

Days are long and carry on, we still don't understand

C Gm F

We're a million miles away

[Chorus]

Dm G

Stuck without a captain or a chart

Dm F

No one seems to know just who to follow anymore

Hang on, hang on

There's a twilight, a nighttime, and a dawn

When hope is gone

Just hang on, hang on
