Chorus 1 (12/8):
Ebadd2
Where people are coming together and people are falling apart,
And no one can hide—we’re caught in the tide and punched in the heart.
Ebadd2
People are harder than diamonds. And people are stronger than knives.
We breathe and we burn, but we’ll never return
For the rest of our lives,
Ebadd2 Ebadd2
For the rest of our lives. (People are coming together...)
Ebadd2 Ebadd2/Ab Dbadd2/Gb
Come down to the water, come down to the water.
Ebadd2
Where people are coming together and people are falling apart,
We’re branded and blind, and we try to rewind, to reset and restart.
Ebadd2
People are louder than fire, and people are stronger than knives.
We’ll pick up the slack, but we’ll never go back
For the rest of our lives,
Ebadd2 Ebadd2
For the rest of our lives. (People are coming together...)
