Csus2

come now antoine give me your hand
i will fly you across the land
                  F              Csus2    F
you were nobody, now you're somebody
we will search for the dream of the king
                  Csus2   F
and friends will hate us
              Csus2          F
and you will lead us
you can't change the plan when it's made
              Csus2
but we have changed it

Bb/F
                                C#/G#
die for your freedom while you can
               Bb/F      Csus2
you can always use new blood

Csus2

sing me lulla-negation cow
fish will follow with eyes man
hand on my shoulders
 F               Csus2    F
march with true soldiers
and in fact dear the flesh is no more
                   Csus2  F
was burnt for our savior
             Csus2        F
offensive behavior
and the last whale will swim to the shore
                    Csus2
in the new land of danger 

Bb/F
                                C#/G#
die for your freedom while you can
               Bb/F      Csus2
you can always use new blood
