C     G/B           C
 Run away from money
          G/B             C
Quit your job and climb a tree
          G/B              C  G/B   C
One with hearts instead of leaves
        G/B       C     G/B             C
Build a sandcastle big enough for us to sleep
         G/B             C  G/B
Paint it golden with the sunrise


  Chorus:

         G   D/F#
Cause we are
       Em7      C
Like a wingless bird
         G    D/F#
Crashing down
       Em7      C
To the helpless earth
       G
And if somethin's gonna break it
D/F#
See it all around you
Em7             C
Feel it in your body
          G
You'll be hiding in the shadows
      D/F#
Where love is still alive
     Em7             C
'Til all of it is burning


Through a field we're walkin
Empty as the open sky
We escape from all the troubles
Found a waterfall and
Took a dive to cool our skin
Finally we found this feelin'

  Chorus

  'Solo'

Run away from money
Quit your job and climb a tree
One with hearts instead of leaves

  End on Em7
