   CRUCIAL- K-Os (by K-mY a french fan)
EmThis is an emergenDcy 
They shot down in the dCark 
They dDid cause the paid a Amfee 
Now there's nothing to die Emfor 
All the kids from miles arDound 
Are fools in paraCdise 
Don't kDnow about the pirate sAmound 
So the scene is an eyesore Em  
Coming back we fly away 
DJah jah coming so I live to see another day 
CAll I think about if I were jDust to run away 
AmWould I come back to love you girl? 
EmI don't wanna change the wDorld 
I only want to stop preCtendinDg 
AmWhat you say? Come again 
What you say? Come again now Em  
Nothing left to do but let it bDurn 
I only hope we're all asCcending hDigh 
AmWhat you say? Come again? 
What you say? Come again now? 
(same thing) 
All around my hometown 
They tried to chop me down 
But the truth shall not forsake me 
Take me up to higher ground 
And you-ou-ou-ou-ou 
You're the life when the feeling is dark 
Not pretending the game is a race 
Because you're born and you'll die in my heart 
EmI don't wanna change the wDorld 
I only want to stop preCtendinDg 
AmWhat you say? Come again 
What you say? Come again now C

I'll be right here beEmside you, hanging aDround C  
So if you think you let me dAmown 
Leave me here in Emsilence, WithouFt a sound

We came Dfirst Am  
That's why we're in chains       Em     D     C    D    Em ...
and there's nowhere to play at night

CRUCIAL- K-Os (by K-mY a french fan)

Em D

This is an emergency

They shot down in the dark

D Am

They did cause the paid a fee

Now there's nothing to die for

Are fools in paradise

D Am

So the scene is an eyesore

Coming back we fly away

Jah jah coming so I live to see another day

Would I come back to love you girl?

Em D

I don't wanna change the world

C D

I only want to stop pretending

Nothing left to do but let it burn

C D

I only hope we're all ascending high

What you say? Come again?

What you say? Come again now?

(same thing)

All around my hometown

They tried to chop me down

But the truth shall not forsake me

Take me up to higher ground

And you-ou-ou-ou-ou

You're the life when the feeling is dark

Not pretending the game is a race

Because you're born and you'll die in my heart

Em D

I don't wanna change the world

C D

I only want to stop pretending

What you say? Come again

What you say? Come again now
