[D]Sun's up, uh huh, [D]looks okay
The [G6]world survives into [G6]another day

They [G6]weren't half as fright'ning as they [G6]were before

[D]Together in eternity[D]
Some kinda [G6]ecstasy got a [G6]hold on [D][D]me[G6][G6]
[D]Up among the firs where it [D]smells so sweet

Verse 3
[D]Huge orange flying boat [D]rises off a lake
[G6]Thousand year old petroglyphs [G6]doing a double take
Pointing a [D]finger at eternity[D]
I'm [G6]sitting in the middle of this [G6][D][D]ecstasy[G6][G6]
[D]Young men marching, helmets [D]shining in the sun
[G6]Polished and precise like the [G6]brain behind the gun [D](should be!)
They got me [D]thinking 'bout eternity
Some kinda [G6]ecstasy got a [G6]hold on [D][D]me[G6][G6]
