Oh, look I've found it, oh I've really found it

How could such a thing be happening to me?
Dm               C            Dm     C
Oh, please don't drop it, I'd die if you lost it
Gm      Am           Bb
You see it means the world to me

    Gm   Am       Dm       Am
Now everything we ever wanted
Gm       Am     Dm    Gm
Lies within our reach
Gm     Am   Dm     Am
Patiently anticipating
Gm             Am     Bb
The world lies at our feet

Dm        C           Dm        C
Run, keep on running, oh I hear them coming
Gm        Am          Bb
How could they try to take what is ours?
Dm         C       Dm               C
Please run faster, oh they're right behind us
Gm       Am      Bb
How much farther can we go?

Gm    Am     Dm     Am
It possesses me, controls me
Gm          Am         Dm       Gm
It makes me run and it makes me kill
    Gm   Am         Dm      Gm
The very thing that made me strong
    Gm    Am     Bb
Has taken all my will

[Chorus]

Dm         C        Dm          C
Oh, I must take it, throw it in the ocean
Gm   Am  Bb
Far, far away from me
Dm      C      Dm         C
We were happy, oh we were so happy
Gm          Am       Bb
When things were the way they used to be
