[Bm]
[Em]
[C] [Bm]
[A]
I was flying [Em] tight to be hearing voices telling me to walk away from [G] everything
But where was I [Em] meant to go, far away from those I know, some [G] desolate below
[C] [Bm]
We were in the U [Em].C. with a grind, a coffee bean, and the women are [G] a gleam
And the boys are [Em] paper thin, ragged beers upon their chin, we were on the [G] outside looking in
[C] [Bm]
[A]
[Am] Rise above the [Bm] present day
[Am] Rise above the [Em] popular melee
I see you the [Bm] way you are, [C] I see you the [Dm] star
We were [G] beautiful [C] before this went [G] down
We were beautiful [C] before the escape, [G] it's good and upside down
We were [G] beautiful [C] before we got wise
We were [G] beautiful, I [C] am black and [B] I am blue
[A]
I am hanging off the line, [Em] I'm on duty all the time
I am your Samaritan [G] on call, I will try my best to heal all the emptiness you feel
In the giving I will be alive
We were at [Em] a reverie, I'm not except for books, we were in [G] some random waste
We were [Em] healing our souls, we were healing all but souls, we were living [G] out the pleasure that we lost
We were beautiful before this went down
We were beautiful before the escape, it's good and upside down
We were beautiful before we got wise
I will tell it to [C] the sun and I will [G] tell it to you
[F] If you listen [G] to the night, we can hear [Am] the madmen fight, hear the [F] foxes making out
The people are [G] immune, sleeping silent [C] in their rooms
Growing [Bb] bodies with their sleep, making [Ab] plans inside their heads
Making [Fm] love to shallow friends
[Eb]
Their [Fm] shallow friends
[Eb]
[Fm] You have to all [Bb] change, happy only comes after [Eb] the fate [Dm] of you and me
[G]
[F] We were beautiful before the [G] escape, it's good and upside down
We were beautiful before we got wise
[F] We were beautiful, the sky in black [G] is laying low
We were beautiful before this went down
We [F] were beautiful before the escape, [G] it's good and upside down
We were beautiful before the escape, [Dm] it's good and upside down
I will tell it to [C] the sun and I will tell [G] it to you
[C] [G] [F] [C] [G]
