Is a dragon and your feet are on fire"
Am F C Csus C Csus
And I got a girl in the war, Paul the only thing I know to do
Am F C Csus C Csus
Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through
C Csus
Because the keys to the kingdom
C Csus C Csus C Csus
Got locked inside the kingdom
C Csus
And the angels fly around in there,
C Csus C Csus C Csus
But we can't see them
Am F C Csus C
And I gotta girl in the war, Paul I know that they can hear me yell
Csus
Am F C Csus C Csus
If they can't find a way to help her, they can go to Hell
Am F C Csus C Csus
If they can't find a way to help her, they can go to Hell

Am F C Csus C Csus
They sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain
Am F C Csus C Csus
Sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain
Am F C Csus C Csus
They sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain
