Living in the Past
Verse 1
C G
The trees are burning down to the ground
Em D
but you’re still standing here with me
C G
I’m taking everything in mentally
Em D
so I can see if somebody will help me
C G
cause the fire’s burning and the wheels they keep on turning
Em D
and there’s no hope left in this world
Pre-chorus
C G Em D
Cos if life was a fairytale I’d go to the kingdom of the fay
C G
Ask them to help us to give us some respect
Em D
Ask them to nurture us, ask them if they care
Chorus
C Em A D
If I could wish upon a star, I’d wish all our fears away from this day
C Em A D
And I remember years ago you told me that I could cope with anything
C Em
And then somebody else came and told me
A D C
You can’t live in the future if already living in the past
Em A D TWICE ON D
Woah oh woah oh woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Verse 2
C G
The forest is burning down to the ground
Em D
But I know how to fix it, take my hand.
C G
We can restore this place so grand
Em D
We can turn it into Neverland
C G Em D
We can do it, we’ll be ok, we can do it, we’ll save the day
Pre-chorus
C G Em D
Cos if life was a fairytale I’d go to the kingdom of the fay
C G
Ask them to help us to give us some respect
Em D
Ask them to nurture us, ask them if they care
Chorus
C Em A D
If I could wish upon a star, I’d wish all our fears away from this day
C Em A D
And I remember years ago you told me that I could cope with anything
C Em
And then somebody else came and told me
A D C
You can’t live in the future if already living in the past
Em A D TWICE ON D
Woah oh woah oh woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Plucking on 2nd, 3rd and 4th string twice each time
Bridge
C G
Help me help me take my hand
Em D
Help me turn this place into never land
C G
Help me help me take my hand
Em D
Help me turn this place into never land
Chorus
C Em A D
If I could wish upon a star, I’d wish all our fears away from this day
C Em A D
And I remember years ago you told me that I could cope with anything
C Em
And then somebody else came and told me
A D C
You can’t live in the future if already living in the past
Em A D TWICE ON D
Woah oh woah oh woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
