Hey, I think we met before
Dm F G
Smoking cigarettes on the dance floor

By flickering light, the faintest trace
Dm F G
The contours of an old familiar face

This is your world, and we say "No way, I won't go"

VERSE II:
Dm F C
Those Thunderbird days those acid nights
Dm F G
How we set the world to rights
Dm F C
And We learned to love the motorways
Dm F G
And those roadside parties lasted for days!
CHORUS:
Am F G
This is your world, and we say "No way, I won't go"
Am F G
A life less ordinary is the one I chose
Am F G
Far away from the soul, still healing
Am F G
We rise to the sun to the hope of freedom
BRIDGE:
E Bm
In your eyes the west world's turning
D A
Our hearts dream to yearn
E Bm
No surrender, we tried to hide
D A
But you and I were born to collide
Am F G
Am F G
Am F G
Am F G
(no chords but you can play the intro sequence of A5 G5 F#5 F5 over this bit)
Well Babylon, we used to say,
It'd burn down to the ground one day,
It's just a broken dream away,
And another ugly morning,
CHORUS:
Am F G
This is your world, and we say "No way, I won't go"
Am F G
A life less ordinary is the one I chose
Am F G
Far away from the soul, still healing
Am F G
We rise to the sun to the hope of freedom
Am F G
This is your world, and we say "No way, I won't go"
Am F G
A life less ordinary is the one I chose
