The LAST CHORUS is where the childrens choir sings in the studio version of this song,
as most of us dont have a childrens choir handy this version adds a nice little change
of pace so that the chorus doesnt get too repetitive. Anyways Tim is only playing
2 notes back and forth (Bb - Ab) before Dave starts playing the guitar again. The chords in
this part are my interpretation of what sounds good here, strum each once. Or you could
always just play the two notes like Tim does or simply slap the guitar in time using no chords at all.
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Chords:     "*" after a chord means strum lightly once

Verse:
Bbm         Ab           F#maj7sus2
  With fire   to keep us warm
Bbm         Ab             F#maj7sus2
  And tools   we made from rocks and bones
Bbm      Ab        F#maj7sus2
  A roof over your head
Bbm         Ab           F#maj7sus2
  And walls  to keep you safe in bed
Bbm         Ab           F#maj7sus2
  There must be more than this
Bbm      Ab           F#maj7sus2
  So God was born and we in his

  Image of fear and love
Bbm       Ab          F#maj7sus2
  Look down upon from up above

Bbm       Ab          F#maj7sus2
  We cross the oceans wide
Bbm       Ab          F#maj7sus2
  Built cities to the sky, oh lord
Bbm         Ab          F#maj7sus2
  Looked up and we were flying
Bbm        Ab        F#maj7sus2
  But will we not survive ourselves?
