Capo 1
[Verse 1]
Am
When I was a boy
Dm C
I saw my Daddy crying at the steering wheel
Am Dm C
And oh it made me feel so scared
Am
Then there was joy
Dm C
Found my religion, swimming in a choir of voices
Am Dm C
And oh, I knew that I'd been spared
[Pre-chorus]
F Em
That I'd be saved some sunny day
Am
Saved from throwing my life away
F Em
That I'd be saved some sunny day
Dm
From throwing my life, throwing my life away
[Chorus]
Am F
Keep singing woah keep singing
Dm Dm/C F F/C
Praising to the heavens with my voice ringing
Am F
Keep singing woah keep singing
Dm Dm/C F F/C
Clap to the beat till my hands are stinging
Am Dm
And I'd be saved some sunny day
