G - C
Verse
C - F - C - F
Come with me I'll take you anywhere

let them fight, we'll catch a dove and
say whatever you say
Chorus
F - G - C - E - Am - D - C - G
I don't mind if you dream out loud
fix your hair a fallout cloud,
Hey I don't mind whatever you're going through
if it were up to me I would leave it up to you
Train the searchlights on some other lives
forget these kids, forget these wives, 'cause
Hey who could catch us anyway?
When the moon buries a sun in the dead sea
it's the cemetery of the century, but
Hey it was a starry day
when it gets dark on the count of night
find your way with a butcher knife, but
Hey just be careful out there, watch who you run into
if it were up to me, I would leave it all up to you
Thats it.
Enjoy.
