“March to the sea” by twenty one pilots
Chord progression: G C Em D
(If you play it w/ capo on the 3rd it sounds better w/ the progression: E, A, C#m, B)
[Verse 1]
G C
There's miles of land in front of us.
Em
And we're dying with every step we take.
D
We're dying with every breath we make.
G
And I'll fall in line.
C
The stranger's back is all I see.
Em
He's only a few feet in front of me.
D
And I'll look left and right sometimes,
G
But I'll fall in line.
C
No one looks up anymore,
Em
Cause you might get a rain drop in your eye.
D
And heaven forbid they see you cry,
G
As we fall in line.
C
And about this time of every year,
Em
The line will go to the ocean pier
D
And walk right off into the sea.
G
And then we fall asleep.
[Instrumental]
G C Em D
G C Em D
G C Em D
[Verse 2]
G C
And as we near the end of land,
Em
And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand.
D G
I ask myself the question, "Why... I fall in line?"
C
Then out of the corner of my eye,
Em
I see a spaceship in the sky
D
and hear a voice inside my head.
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me."
C G D
"Follow me."
[Instrumental]
G C Em D
[Verse 3]
G C
Then the wages of war will start
Em
Inside my head with my counterparts.
D
And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase,
G
"This line's the only way."
C
And then I start down the sand.
Em
My eyes are focused on the end of land.
D
But again the voice inside my head says,
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
[Verse 4]
G C
Take me up, Seal the door.
Em
I don't wanna march here anymore.
D
I realize that this line is dead.
G
So I'll follow you instead.
C
So then you put me back in my place,
Em
So I might start another day.
D
And once again I will be,
G
In a march to the sea.
(Hold G)
