cmaj7 em fmaj7 cmaj7
i can't stand by, and see you destroyed

i can't be here, and watch you burn up

fmaj7 g em fmaj7
we so down, but it's now or never baby
fmaj7 g em fmaj7

verse:
cmaj7 em fmaj7 cmaj7
let's leave at sunrise, let's live by the ocean

cause i know this can't last for long, and i say
chorus:
fmaj7 g em fmaj7
we so down, but it's now or never baby
