intro: A G#m x4

E Emaj7 E6 Emaj7 A B

and though they were sad they rescued everyone

A B A B A B E

they lifted up the sun / a spoonful weighs a ton

giving more than they had / the process had begun

a million came from one / the limits now were none

B A E

being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the suuuuun

then this riff comes in:

e----------------------------------------------------------------------

B----------------------------------------------------------------------

G-/86/86-------------------------------------------------------------

D----------------------------------------------------------------------

A---------------7)-----------------------------------------------------

E-(bass):--5--(7-------------------------------------------------------

x8, and starting on the fourth time, Asus2 A6sus2

on the last time, the bass plays:

G----------------------------------------------------------------------

D----------------------------------------------------------------------

A--------------5-5-7---------------------------------------------------

E--5-5-7-7-8-8---------------------------------------------------------

forcing it off with their hands, the trap door came undone

above our heads it swung / the privilege had been won

being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun

then this riff again:

e----------------------------------------------------------------------

B----------------------------------------------------------------------

G-/86/86-------------------------------------------------------------

D----------------------------------------------------------------------

A---------------7)-----------------------------------------------------

E-(bass):--5--(7-------------------------------------------------------

x8, and starting on the fourth time, Asus2 A6sus2

on the last time, the bass plays:

G----------------------------------------------------------------------

D----------------------------------------------------------------------

A--------------5-5-7---------------------------------------------------

E--5-5-7-7-8-8---------------------------------------------------------

yelling as hard as they can, the doubters all were stunned

heard louder than a gun / the sound they made was love
