3 days

tempo: 116

verse 1:

C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2 C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2
For three days, we've been travelling. Following a star.

C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2 C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2
A life, of safety, unravelling. We don't know where we are.

C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2 C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2
But does anybody know. Does anybody know.

verse 2:

C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2 C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2
For three days, we've been running. Soon, we will be there.

C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2 C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2
Trading comfort, for what we believe. Living on the edge. Life is a dare.

C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2 C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2
But does anybody care. Does anybody care.

chorus:

C# F# Ab Ab
The city is burning behind us.

C# F# Ab Ab
If we keep running, they'll never find us.

C# F# Ab Ab
The world's disappearing, behind us.

C# F# Ab Ab
If we keep running, they won't try to find us.

verse 3:

C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2 C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2
For three days, we've persisted. Chasing the night, to find the dawn.

C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2 C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2
Dissenters, we have been listed. Shelters are melting. Safety is gone.

C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2 C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2
But we're, alive and free. The grass for a blanket. Bathing in the sea.

C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2 C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2
And we're, alive and aware. Wanting to believe, sending a prayer.

C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2 C#2 F/C#2 G/C#2
But does, anybody care. Does anybody care. (octave up)

And the

chorus:

C# F# Ab Ab
The city is burning behind us.

C# F# Ab Ab
If we keep running, they'll never find us.

C# F# Ab Ab
The world's disappearing, behind us.

C# F# Ab Ab
If we keep running, they won't try to find us.

(dramatic cresendo, build tension, accapello, shimmering cymbals, perhaps striking violin
chords, slow attack strings; begin with orchestra hit; build with kettle drums rising perhaps)

I need, to take, a look.

One last glance, at the place we forsook.

Don't turn. You'll become, a pillar of salt.

Faith can move a mountain, you'll see the result

Of a

(The last chorus)

C# F# Ab Ab
Hope that cannot be contained.

C# F# Ab Ab
A reason to live that cannot be chained.

C# F# Ab Ab
A hope that we must not neglect.

(building crescendo)

B2 Ab B
Faith can move a mountain, we'll see the effect

C# F# Ab Ab
Of a journey about to conclude.

C# F# Ab Ab
Progress has no conscience, we're trying to elude.

C# F# Ab Ab
Of a journey about to conclude.

C# F# Ab Ab
Time is the culprit. We're being pursued
