Hurray, I awake from yesterday  Alive, but the war is here to stay
 C majorC
So my love, Catherina and me,
 BB
decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea
Bb majorBb               A augmentedA
Not to die but to reborn, away from lands so battered and torn
 A minorAm    D MajorD   A minorAm D MajorD C majorC
Forever, forever

Oh say, can you see it's really such a mess
  DbDb
 Every inch of Earth is a fighting nest
    C majorC
Giant pencil and lipstick tube shaped things,
  BB
Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
      Bb majorBb
And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red as our
 A augmentedA                       A minorAm  D MajorD    A minorAm  D MajorD
feet find the sand, and the sea is straight ahead, straight up ahead

Well it's too bad that our friends, can't be with us today

Well it's too bad
  DmDm        A minorAm
The machine, that we built,

would never save us', that's what they say

That's why they ain't coming with us today
             DmDm           A minorAm
And they also said it's impossible for a man to live and breathe under
        C majorC
water,   forever, was their main complaint
 G minorGm
And they also threw this in my face, they said:
 DmDm               A minorAm
Anyway, you know good and well it would be beyond the will of God,
 C majorC                 G minorGm
and the grace of the King grace of the King Yeah, yeah

DmDm A minorAm C majorC G minorGm DmDm A minorAm C majorC G minorGm

So my darling and I make love in the sand,
  DbmDbm
to salute the last moment ever on dry land
  C majorC
Our machine, it has done its work, played its part well
      BB
Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell
  Bb majorBb
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
  A augmentedA
Before our heads go under we take a last look at the killing noise
 A minorAm          D MajorD      A minorAm     A minorAm D...
Of the out of style, the out of style, out of style
  DbDb                  C minorCm
So down and down and down and down and down and down we go
  BB                Bb majorBb
hurry my darling we mustn't be late for the show
  A augmentedA                 AbAb
Neptune champion games to an aqua world that's so very dear
 GbGb                  A augmentedA   C majorC  G+G    A augmentedA
right this way smiles a mermaid I can hear atlantis full of cheer
 A minorAm D MajorD  A minorAm         D MajorD   A minorAm            D MajorD Am-D
