E     A
I've never seen you look like this without a reason
E    A  F# A     B  E F#m
Another promise fallen through another season passes by you

I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child

C#m  E      A  B
In a big country dreams stay with you
C#m E  C#m     E  B A F#  E F#m
Like a lovers voice fires the mountainside  Stay alive


E       A
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
  C#m   F#    E
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lovers voice fires the mountainside  stay alive   (repeat x2)

E        A
So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you
C#m        F#
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
E      A
Pull up your head off the floor - come up screaming
C#m    F#
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
E       A
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
   C#m      F#       E
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lovers voice fires the mountainside  stay alive   (repeat x3)
