D F#m G D
I got an extra, glimpse of the truth today
D F#m G A
Staring at my breakfast, when I thought I heard it say
G F#m Em A
Fighting is no good, success an empty lie
G F#m Em A
The treasure hunt is lonely until you realise
G F#m
We came to take it up,
Em
We came to take it up
A
We came to take it up
G F#m
We came to raise it up,
Em
We came to take it up
A
We came to move it up
D F#m G D Dsus D
I promise you this, I will do my best today
D F#m G D
But somebody keeps tryin to make me, tryin to make me lose my way
D F#m G D Dsus D
But I believe oh my darlin, I believe in you
D F#m G D
And I hope when you hear this you'll remember what we were sent to do

Verse
D F#m G D Dsus D
Speeding out of the town I thought I'd lost my way
D F#m G A
Till I saw the green and ebony come a wonderin about their pay
D F#m G D Dsus D
I got the money if you still got the friends
D F#m G D A
We can really put this world to right or sit and watch the end
