03.06.08

A# D#add9 D# D#add9 D#

I hear a heart beat

D#add9 D# D#add9 D#

It's ringing out across the universe

It sounds so lost and lonely

D#add9 D# D#add9 D#

It must come from somewhere deep inside of us

And the operator says

"All is calm and all is quiet

D#add9 D# D#add9 D#

Close your eyes and sleep tonight"

This is us

A# D#add9 D# D#add9 D#

I'm on a train now

D#add9 D# D#add9 D#

I'm moving through the yellow fields of rape

There's so much beauty

D#add9 D# D#add9 D#

I wished that I believed enough to pray

Then the operator replied

"Spinning 'round, you're wrapped in blue

D#add9 D# D#add9 D#

There's no-one looks as good as you"

This is the world calling

D#add9 D# D#add9 D#

This is us

This is the world calling

D#add9 D# D#add9 D#

This is us

F A#

And it goes on and on

What we going to do because it can't go on

Wrap me in your arms and keep me warm tonight

What we going to do because it can't go on

Wrap me in your arms and keep me warm tonight

This is the world calling

This is us

And it goes on and on and on

"All is calm and all is quiet

Close your eyes and sleep tonight"
