[Intro]: C Em   x8

              C                     Em
A boy with a coin, he found in the weeds
                  C                  Em
With bullets and pages of trade magazines
            C                       Em
Close to a car that flipped on the turn
                    C                   Em
When God left the ground to circle the world

[Interlude]: C Em   x4 (hey, ah, ah, ah)

               C                       Em
A girl with a bird, she found in the snow
                  C                        Em
Then flew up her gown and that's how she knows
                 C                  Em
If God made her eyes for crying at birth
                C                  Em
Then left the ground to circle the Earth

[Interlude]: C Em   x4 (hey, ah, ah, ah)

[Solo]: Am  Em x2 C Em   x4

              C                       Em
A boy with a coin, he crammed in his jeans
               C                      Em
Then making a wish, he tossed in the sea
             C                   Em
Walked to a town that all of us burn
                    C                   Em
When God left the ground to circle the world

[Interlude]: C Em   x4 (hey, ah, ah, ah) (repeat all this three times)

[Outro]: Am  Em x2 C Em   x4
