Outro:
Gbm        A                    D
I want the world to sing in her native tongue
                     B
To sing it like when we were young

Back before the pendulum had swung to the shadows
Gbm        A                    D

To find a way to use our lungs for love and not the shadows
Gbm        A                    D
I want the world to sing in her native tongue

To find a way to use our lungs for love and not the shadows
