      This is just the main body of this great track by foals. Sounds good on acoustic guitar

[Intro]
Bm (It sounds nice to arpeggio this during the intro)
When I come to walk the line
The fire may come, but we'll be just fine
When I go to walk the line
The fire, it will come but we'll be just fine

Bm E Bm
D  A Bm

[Verse 1]

Bm                  
Mouth of the ocean, be well spoken
A                  D
Watch your P's and Q's
Bm                    
Now that we're older, the future is colder
A                    D
But what is there to do?

 
Bm                  
I'll walk the line, I'll be just fine
A                     D
I'll be right back on time
Bm                  
The fire is coming, but we'll outrun it
A              D
We'll never be undone

Bm  A   D
Bm  A   D

E (play the E short here and at the end of the lines) 
[Chorus]
D                E              F#m           E
What came of the things we once believed?
D                   E                  F#m    E
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea
D                    E              F#m          E
Oh, what came of the things we once believed?
D                   E                  F#m       E
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea

Bm  A  D

Bm  A  D

[Verse 2]

Bm
And now our parents are long departed
A                  D
Who can finish the songs they started?
Bm      
Bodies are broken, but it's just a token
A                 D
Of what is surely to come

Bm                   
Unstitch the suture, please pause the future
A                   D
So I can collect my things
Bm
The fire is coming, but we'll outrun it
A              D 
We'll never be undone

E  (again, just play this short as the chorus kicks in)

[Chorus]
D                E              F#m           E
What came of the things we once believed?
D                   E                  F#m    E
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea
D                    E              F#m          E
Oh, what came of the things we once believed?
D                   E                  F#m       E
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea
