F
Where did all the people go?

They got scared when the lights went low.
F
I get you through it nice and slow,
                  Eb
When the world's spinning out of control.

F
Afraid of what they might lose

Funny when times get hard,

At the last moment when you're supposed to charge,
F
We're always on the longest yard,

Hiding here, hiding there,
Eb
Find them underneath the stairs,

People hiding everywhere,

Trying to be still like a stone.
