           Bb
I turn the music up,

I got my records on,
           F
I shut the world outside

Until the lights come on.
          Bb
Maybe the streets alight,

Maybe the trees are gone,
          F
I feel my heart start beating

To my favourite song.

            Bb
And all the kids they dance,

All the kids all night
      F
Until Monday morning

Feels another life,
          Dm₇
I turn the music up,

I’m on a roll this time
    Bb
And heaven is in sight.

Instrumental: F | Bb  } 4 times

I turn the music up,
I got my records on,
From underneath the rubble
Sing a rebel song.
Don’t wanna see another
Generation drop,
I’d rather be a comma
Than a full stop.

Maybe I’m in the black,
Maybe I’m on my knees,
Maybe I’m in the gap
Between the two trapezes,
But my heart is beating
And my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart.

      Bb
As we saw,
         F
Oh, this light
        Dm₇
I swear you,

Emerge blinking into
   Bb
To tell me it’s alright.

      Bb
As we soar
  F
Walls,
                 Dm₇
Every siren is a symphony
                   Bb
And every tear’s a waterfall,
          F
Is a waterfall.

 Bb
Ooh,
          F
Is a waterfall,
      Bb
Oh-oh-oh,
          F
Is a waterfall.

      Bb
Every tear
          F
Is a waterfall,
        Bb
Oh, oh, oh.

           C             Bb
So you can hurt, hurt me bad.
               Am₇  Bb    F
But still I’ll raise the flag.

Bb    F Bb
Uuh.

         F Bb
It was a waterfall,
  F Bb
A waterfall.

Every tear, every tear,

Every tear is a waterfall.

Every tear, every tear,

Every tear is a waterfall.
