We were young, adventure had no end?

Those were the days, my friend.

But I'm not talking about that at all.

All harmonic motion ceased.

Life itself could not maintain

F               C

From that singularity.

D                     A

Try to withstand a magnetic storm

F              C

With no one to keep you warm.

Since the day that the earth stalled.
