Verse 1:
 Db
Sand on her shoes
        Ab
Finally reach the shore
Db    Ab       Db
After miles of blue
 F              Ab
Standing at the door
Db         Fm
We were fearless in dreams
          Ab                            Db
Now we're here, now we see the fight before us
                     Eb
And you say this is hopeless

Eb
But I say
 Db           Ab
Come on, get living

Don't wanna miss this, it's time to let go
Ab
Of that moment you're chasing
Ab
We're here now, we've made it
Ab                               Eb
Come on, just light the match in turn
    N.C.
And watch the ships burn

Open doors, pounding chests
