Intro:
Am
Am  C  D  x2

Verse 1:
Am
Lonely pavements, shards of glass reflect the evening sky
Am
And I think of peach blossom
Am
Concrete tumours, competing greed and height
D

And all I see are Himalayas

Pre-Chorus:
Am
I've heard about a place with trees
Am
Where springs run clean through valleys and peaks
Am
And the air can heal you as you breathe
Am
Not like the smoke that fills these streets
Am
I read about a place somewhere far
Am
You can't get there by car
Am
Where misty vales hide mystery trails
D
I think they call it Shangri-La

Let's run away, I know the way

Verse 2:
Am
Where the proof machines and roofs block my view
Am
And I just think of lost horizons
Am
Drains engorged with filthy water
Am
Call my core and
D
I make birdsongs out of sirens

Pre-Chorus:
Am
I've heard about a place with trees
Am
Where springs run clean through valleys and peaks

Am  C
I'm trading grey for green
G                                  G
I'm gonna throw it all away for my Utopian dream
Am                C               G
The holy grail of fairy tales calls to me
           D
And I've become my own queen
