Intro: [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
[D] I signed aboard [Em] some sea ships
[A] Just to see the ocean [G] roll [D]
I flew the clouds [Em] and airplanes
[A] Just to satisfy my [G] soul [D]

Let me be your [Em] pillow
[A] While this world’s [G] on fire [D]

Build our cities from the [Em] ashes [A]
Where the world was on [G] fire [D]
