verse 1 :
C#m E
when we all had finally washed ashore
F#m F#dim
it was clear there was no one else around
C#m E
we declared a national holiday
F#m C#m B
a chance to build it from the ground

prechorus :
C#m B
so far away
A F#dim E
from everyone and everything starts today

chorus :
E F#m
let’s keep it together
E F#m
can we keep it together
E F#m A
we’re singing a new song now
F#dim E
and everything starts today

verse 2 :
C#m E
can we rise can we get along alright
F#m F#dim
can we miss the storm that sucked the whole world in
C#m E
and the bulbs went out all night and the choppers in the sky
F#m C#m B
they searched but they could find no trace of us

prechorus & chorus

bridge :
C#m
the thunder struck the clouds appear
E
i feel this crew is not prepared
B
and pretty soon the boats came for us
F#m E
half a million strong
C#m
we gathered arms , we fired shells
E
we build a wall around ourselves
B F#m
and pretty soon the spirit was A
E B C#m E F#m
a lot like what it used to be back home

prechorus & chorus
