Em G
It happened to me on the balcony
A Em
I heard someone singing in the key of C
Em G A Em
Goodbyes and love and freedom and tragedy
Em G
It got me spinning like a carousel
A Em
I had to take a vacation to the wishing well
Em G A
To pound on the drums and ring all the bells
[Chorus]
Em G A Em
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Em G A C B
We've got to stand up for each other
Em G A Em
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Em G A C B
We've got to fight for one another
[Verse 2]
Em G
There were promises made and debts were paid
A Em
We tell ourselves we are not afraid
Em G A Em
Fear only goes where it's invited to stay
Em G
An eclectic, electric, hopeless romantic
A Em Em
Telling tall tales to keep your interest
G A
Trying to understand the lonely heart of man
[Chorus]
Em G A Em
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Em G A C B
We've got to stand up for each other
Em G A Em
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Em G A C B
We've got to fight for one another
[Bridge]
A Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
A Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
A Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
C D
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Em G
Life's not a joke, not a cloud of smoke
A Em
It's not to be mocked, it's a ticking clock
Em G A
Counting the days living on borrowed time
[Chorus]
Em G A Em
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Em G A
We've got to stand up for each other
Em G A Em
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Em G A
We've got to fight for one another
