Em                    G
It happened to me on the balcony
        A                      Em
I heard someone singing in the key of C
Em                    G           A        Em
Goodbyes and love and freedom and tragedy
   Em                     G
It got me spinning like a carousel
         A                      Em
I had to take a vacation to the wishing well
   Em                     G            A
To pound on the drums and ring all the bells

[Chorus]

Em       G         A        Em
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Em           G                 A      C  B
We've got to stand up for each other
Em       G         A        Em
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Em           G             A          C  B
We've got to fight for one another

[Verse 2]
           Em                G
There were promises made and debts were paid
   A                     Em
We tell ourselves we are not afraid
Em             G                     A     Em
Fear only goes where it's invited to stay
   Em                  G
An eclectic, electric, hopeless romantic
A                     Em                   Em
Telling tall tales to keep your interest
                         G               A
Trying to understand the lonely heart of man

[Chorus]

Em       G         A        Em
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Em           G                 A       C  B
We've got to stand up for each other
Em       G         A        Em
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Em           G             A           C  B
We've got to fight for one another

[Bridge]
A              Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
A              Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
A              Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
C           D
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah

Em                       G
Life's not a joke, not a cloud of smoke
     A                        Em
It's not to be mocked, it's a ticking clock
Em                G                  A
Counting the days living on borrowed time

[Chorus]

Em       G         A        Em
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Em           G                 A
We've got to stand up for each other
Em       G         A        Em
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Em           G             A
We've got to fight for one another
