Citizens!


Tom: E

F#         A      B     F#
Time is a world unto itself
         A        B      F#
Just a graceless ringing bell
            A      B        F#
You try to buy but it won't sell
                    A              B
Straight down the track, no going back


[Verse 2]
F#               A       B        F#
Life is just a breath before the ground
           A        B     F#
The sun is up then rushes down
           A       B     F#
Is there a purpose to be found?
                   A              B
Straight down the track, no going back


[Chorus]
D                   E
     Can't make it stop
                    F#
     Can't slow it down

     Nothing to do but let it push me around
D                     E
     I can't keep it still
                     F#
     I can't turn it back

     Barely a blink before it's all in the past
D   E              F#
     I'm fading so fast


[Instrumental]
F# A B (x2)


[Verse 3]
F#                A      B        F#
Look, beyond the sun, beyond the clouds
            A         B      F#
Is there a life still to be found?
               A          B        F#
Don't want to spark then just fade out
                    A                   B
Straight down the track, I'm not going back


[Chorus]
D                   E
     Can't make it stop
                    F#
     Can't slow it down

     Nothing to do but let it push me around
D                     E
     I can't keep it still
                     F#
     I can't turn it back

     Barely a blink before it's all in the past
D   E              F#
     I'm fading so fast


[Instrumental]
D E F# (x2)


[Interlude]
A             E           D
   I'm on my knees crying out
                          A
   I need You to save me
           E                D
   I see a light, I hear a sound
                                A
   "You're all right, I got you now"
                E              D
   Here in the face of all my doubt
                             A
   These burdens are lifting up
         E                 F#
   I was lost, but now I'm found

   And I'm looking on and on and on and on


[Chorus]
D                   E
     Don't want to stop
                 F#
     Not slowing down

     Nothing to do but lay it all on the ground
D                  E
     Can't keep still
                      F#
     I'm not turning back

     Barely a blink before this moment is past
D   E                    F#
     But the future will last


[Outro]
D                       E
     You're all that I have
                     F#
     I'm not turning back
D                       E
     You're all that I have
                     F#
     I'm not turning back
D         E          F#
     I'm not turning back
