Capo 4 fret
INTRO
C#m B E A E B
La la la la la la, la la la la la
C#m B E A B
La ra la ra ra ra, la ra la ra ra
VERSE 1
E B
Where did all the people go?
C#m A
They got scared when the lights went low.
E B
I get you through it nice and slow,
C#m A
When the world's spinning out of control.
E B
Afraid of what they might lose
C#m A
Might get scraped or they might get bruised.
E B
You could beg and what's the use
C#m A
That's why it's called the moment of truth
CHORUS
E
I'd get it if you need it,
B
I'll search if you don't see it,
C#m
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
A B
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.

E
I know you don't believe it,
B
But I said it and I still mean it,
C#m
When you heard what I told you,
A B
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.
VERSE 2
E B
Funny when times get hard,
C#m A
At the last moment when you're supposed to charge,
E B
We're always on the longest yard,
C#m A
Oh they feel their feet get cold.
E B
Hiding here, hiding there,
C#m A
Find them underneath the stairs,
E B
People hiding everywhere,
C#m A
Trying to be still like a stone.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
C#m B E
My aim is so true,
A E B
I wanna show you,
C#m B E
I'll try forever,
A B
I'm never gonna say "surrender".
CHORUS
OUTRO
E
Na na na na na na na
B
Na na na na na na na
C#m
Na na na na na na na
A B
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.
