ADown in the dark, Awe could go sailing.
C#mOn the sea.C#m
C#m C#m
C#mAlways here, C#malways on time, close C#mcall.
Was it love, or C#mwas it just easy?
C#mMoney talks, when C#mpeople need shoes and C#msocks.
Steady boys, I C#mthink that she needs me.
EI was just Esipping on something Asweet.
I don't need polAitical process.
Prechorus 1:
C#mI got this feeling that they're G#mgonna break down the door.
EI got this feeling that they're F#mgonna come back for more.
C#mSee, I was thinking that I G#mlost my mind,
Ebut it's been getting to me F#mall this time
and G#don't stop G#dragging me down.
Chorus 1:
ESilently, refBlection
C#mturns my world to Astone.
EPatiently, corBrection
C#mleaves us all aG#lone.
And Asometimes I'm a-Btravelling,
but tonC#might this engine's BfailAing.
B
And C#mI still hear the Achildren playing:
Verse 2:
C#m“Kick the can, C#mkick the can, skip and blackC#mjack.”
“Steal a car, and C#mRing-Around-Rosie.”
C#m“Rock 'n' Roll, C#mCandyland, Bogeyman.”
C#m“Run away, and C#mgive me your sneakers.”
C#mAcid rain, when C#mAbel looked up at C#mCain.
We began, C#mweeping and wailing.
C#mHurry high from C#mpestilence, pills and C#mpride.
It's a shame, we C#mcould've gone sailing.
EBut heaven knows, Eheaven knows everyAthing.
Tranquillise.A

BDead beat dancers, F#mcome to us and Estay.
Outro:
'Cos I Bdon't care where you C#mbeen
and I Bdon't care what you Eseen.
We're the C#mones who still belAieve
and we're Blooking for a Epage
in that Blifeless book of C#mhope,
where Bdreams might help you Ecope.
Where the C#mbushes and the Abombs,
