    Like a thousand other fools,
          E                      C            G

                      Love can make you sad,  come on,
                                   E
                      Let's drive ourselves mad."

                      And mean it,    and mean it.

4.  Standing on a rock,  in a river.
    G            A            E
    Staring at the rain,  made one.
    G          F             C    G/B
    On the surface, flashing diamonds,  
    D       Am7          G       A
    Rolling down the twilight canyon.
            E                   C           G
    And we shall kiss the sun,  in spite of him.
         E
         So why don't we celebrate,   why don't we celebrate....
