D                           A                        G
  A million years it's been, since the search began 
                                         D
Still can't find it, still can't find it  
                         A                     G
The fuel is nearly spent, check the maps again
                                        Bm
Can't let go of it, can't let go of it
                    G                        D
Now the crew is cold and drunk on chemicals
                                          Bm
Can't believe in it, can't believe in it 
                            G                         D
And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say
                     G
We're so close to it, so very close to it
              A           D
We still have energy in us


[Verse 2]
D                         A                     G
  We feel our hearts break as the engines fade
                                              D
Still need to find it, still need to find it
                            A                     G
So we took the written words of our philosophers
                                                     Bm
and built a fire from it, let's get those engines lit
                         G                          D
We took the church's veil and built a mighty sail
                         G                            Bm  
to carry forth this ship, but we're still losing it
                            G                          D
And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say
                     G
We're so close to it, so very close to it
              A          D 
We still have energy in us

[Verse 3]
D                        A                              G
  The mission's over now, and my breath is running out
                                       D
Can't let go of it, can't let go of it
                        A                         G
I didn't mean what I said, I didn't mean what I said
                                                     Bm 
I love you more than this. I love you more than this
                              A                           D
Then lights they fill the air, or were they always there?
                 G                  Bm
I finally see it, I finally see it
                            G                         D
And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say
                          G
You're always close to it, so very close to it
                A            D
There's so much energy in us
G                A            D
  There's so much energy in us
G                A            D
  There's so much energy in us
G                A            D
  There's so much energy in us
