Intro: Am Dm
Am
You can find your hope
Am/G
Amongst the crowds
F
Of all the people you've let down
E
We'll find a way to make this ok
Am
Well yeah we skipped through the nights
Am/G
It's all that we need to
F
And maybe it's all that we'll ever need
E
Just to make us feel alive
D
You are, you are, you're all around
G x2
(you are, you are, you are, you're all around now)
Em G
I will never give up on you for
Bm
All the times you sat and sang to me,
A
Tried to make me better
Em G
So now I'll try to let you know that
Bm A
This is the English way to make us all fit back together
Am
Please don't speak these words, just save
Am/G
them, walk with me and take a trip
F E
We'll only stop for water and some other things
Am
Well yeah we skipped through the nights
Am/G
It's all that we need to
F
And maybe it's all that we'll ever need
E
Just to make us feel alive.
You are, you are, you're all around (you are, you are, you are, you're all around me now)
You are, you are, you're all around (you are, you are, you are, you're all around me now)
I will never give up on you for
All the times you sat and sang to me,
Tried to make me better
So now I'll try to let you know that
This is the English way to make us all fit back together
D G Bm
Too many lives have been lost *under orders*
D Bm G
Of too many people that have lost their voices
I will never give up on you for
All the times you sat and sang to me,
Tried to make me better
So now I'll try to let you know that
This is the English way to make us all fit back together
