E Emaj7
We are a rock revolving, around a golden sun
E7 A
We are a billion people rolled into one
Am E C#m
So when I hear about the hole in the sky
C D E
Saltwater wells in my eyes
E Emaj7
We climb the highest mountain, we'll make the desert bloom
E7 A
We're so ingenious we can walk on the moon
Am E C#m
But when I hear of how the forests have died
C D E
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Chorus:
B A B A
I have lived for love, but now its not enough
C#m F# A
For the world I know is dying (and now im crying)
B A
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
B A C#m B A E F#
as friends we're out of time, and its slow-ly pass-ing by
A
Right before our eyes

E Emaj7
We light the deepest ocean, send photographs of mars
E7 A
We're so enchanted by how clever we are
Am E C#m
Why should one baby be so hungry she cries
C D E
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Solo (verse chords)
Chorus:
B A B A
I have lived for love, but now its not enough

For the world I love is dying (and now im crying)
B A
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
B A C#m B A E F#
as friends we're out of time, and its slow-ly pass-ing by
A
Right before our eyes
E Emaj7
We are a rock revolving, around a golden sun
E7 A
We are a billion people rolled into one
Am E C#m
What will I think of me the day that I die
C D E
Saltwater wells in my eyes
C D E
Saltwater wells in my eyes
C D E
