lyrics

3 days
tempo: 116
verse 1:
C#(2) Ab(3) Bb Ab(3) F# F Eb Ab(3) Bb Ab F# F Eb
For three days, we've been travelling. Following a star.
C# Ab(4) Bb Ab(3) F# F Eb Ab(4) Bb Ab
A life, of safety, unravelling. We don't know where we are.
Ab(2) Ab(3) Bb Ab F# F Eb Ab(4) Bb Ab
But does anybod - y know. Does anybody know.
verse 2:
C#(2) Ab(3) Bb Ab(2) F# F Eb Ab(3) Bb Ab F# F Eb
For three days, we've been running. Soon, we will be there.
Ab(7) Bb Ab Ab(3) Bb A Ab(2) Bb Ab
Trading comfort, for what we believe. Living on the edge. Life is a dare.
Ab(2) Ab(3) Bb Ab F# F Eb Ab(4) Bb Ab
But does anybo - dy care. Does anybody care.
F
and ...
chorus:
Eb F F# F Bb(3) C C
The ci - ty is burning behind us.
F F# F Bb(2) Eb(2) C# F Eb
If we keep running, they'll nev- er find us.
Eb F F# F Bb(3) C C
The world's dis - a - ppearing, behind us.
F F# F Bb(3) Eb(2) C# F Eb
If we keep running, they won't try to find us.
verse 3:
C# Ab(3) Bb Ab(2) F# F Eb Ab(6) Bb Ab
For three days, we've per - sisted. Chasing the night, to find the dawn.
C# Ab(4) Bb Ab(2) F# F Eb Ab(7) Bb Ab
Dissenters, we have been listed. Shelters are melting. Safety is gone.
Ab(2) Ab(3) Bb Ab Eb Ab(2) B Ab(2) Ab(3) Bb Ab
But we're, alive and free. The grass for a blanket. Bathing in the sea.
F Eb C# Ab(2) Bb Ab Ab(3) B Ab Ab(2) Bb Ab
And we're, a - live and a - ware. Wanting to believe, sending a prayer.
C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2 C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2
Ab(2) Ab(3) Bb Ab F# F Eb Ab(4) Bb C
But does anybo - dy care. Does anybody care.
C# Eb
And the
chorus:
Eb F F# F Bb(3) C C
The ci - ty is burning behind us.
F F# F Bb(2) Eb(2) C# F Eb
If we keep running, they'll nev- er find us.
Eb F F# F Bb(3) C C
The world's dis - a - ppearing, behind us.
F F# F Bb(3) Eb(2) C# F Eb
If we keep running, they won't try to find us.
bridge: accapello
(dramatic cresendo, build tension, accapello, shimmering cymbals, perhaps striking violin
chords, slow attack strings; begin with orchestra hit; build with kettle drums rising perhaps)
C# Eb
Of a
last chorus
F F# F Bb(3) C C# C C C#
Hope that cannot be contained.
F F# F Bb(2) Eb(2) F Eb Eb Eb
A reason to live that cannot be chained.
F F# F Bb(3) C C# C
A hope that we must not neglect.
building crescendo:
F(2) F# F Bb(3) Eb(2) F Eb
Faith can move a mountain, we'll see the effect
Eb(2) F F# F Bb(3) C C# C
Of a journey about to conclude.
F(2) F# F Bb(3) Eb(2) F Eb
Progress has no conscience, we're trying to elude.
Eb(2) F F# F Bb(3) C C# C
Of a journey about to conclude.
F F# F Bb(2) Eb(2) F Eb
Time is the culprit. We're being pursued (repeat this line 3x) then C#
