Tom: Em

Em D/F#

[Verse]

G                                                 Em
  Everything looks rather bleak and desperate for us
Em                        D/F#
We’re hopeless underdogs
G                                  Em
  We’ve got only ourselves left to count on
Em
We care for no-one

[Bridge]

D
  We’ve got no money
D
  We’ve got no shelter
Em
  And we’ve got nothing left to give
D
  Feeling helpless
G         C
  Feeling useless
Em
  Got no reason to live

[Verse]

G
I will save the best for last
    G
The coming storm will surely pass
        Em
There’s something good for everyone in here
     G
Like rivers flow to oceans
        G
Once we set the wheels in motion
         Em
There is nothing here to stop our victory

[Bridge]

D
  We’ve got no money
D
  We’ve got no shelter
Em
  And we’ve got nothing left to give
D
  Feeling hopeless
D
  Feeling useless
Em
  Got no reason to believe

[Chorus]

A                              C
  But we’ll hang out below the stars
              E                    A
And dream the dreams left from our past
                           C
And just before they fade away
                E                   A
We’ll grab them tight and make them stay

                           C
And we’ll go down in history
                E                A
There’s so much more for you and me
A
  You know that modesty
C
  Is not my cup of tea
G
  Completely not my cup of tea
F        D#            Em
  Really not my cup of tea

[Middle 8]

C          Am                  B
  Once you take this path with me
               Em                  Am
There’ll be no turning back you’ll see
               B                  Em
We’ll take the world, conquer the universe

C                 Am                  B
  We’ll break the rules we won’t give in
            Em                 Am
The devil’s patience’s wearing thin
              B                C
And they will kneel before our throne
             D                     C
And we’ll be laughing when they’re gone

[Guitar Solo]

C   Am   B   Em
Am  B   Em
C   Am  B7  Em
Am  B   C   D

[Chorus]

C             Am                B
  And we will reach out for the stars
             Em                   Am
And live the dreams left from our past
              B           Em
And they will never fade away
                                     C
We’ll seize them tight and make them stay

C              Am            B
  And we’ll go down in history
                Em             Am
There’s nothing left for us to see
Am              B
  You know that modesty
C               D
  You know that modesty
Em
  Is not my cup of tea
Em
  Completely not my cup of tea
Em
  Really not my cup of tea
Em
  Oh no, it’s not!
