Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Shut your eyes now

 The world looks better

 with the lights out

This is our time now

 To create and invent

 We can be giants now

 So let's wait for the blackout

This is our time now

 To believe and pretend

Ref.:

 Who's to hold up the sky

 if not you and I?

 So long so long so long

 Who's to tame the volcanoes

 on mountains high?

 So long so long so long

Put the knife down

Don't you cut your own heart out

I need you alive now

Learn to hold your own hand

Come to life now

 Let's leave before sundown

This is our time now

 Put an end to an end

Ref.: (2x)

 Just how long does it take

 to drink oceans dry?

 So long so long so long

 And every storm has got its own eye

 So long so long so long

 (And someday we'll say goodbye to goodbye)

 So long so long so long, sail on
