Key:
G A E 1. Standing on a rock, in a river.G A E Staring at the splintered sun.G F C You could drowned yourself inG/B jewels,D Am7 G A Like a thousand other fools.E C While you stand there lookingG down at what you won.G A E 2. Sitting on a mountain of ashes.G A E Face to face with past regrets.G F You could roll down to theC G/B canyon,D Am7 G A Piss away this incarnation.E C But remember, that you payG for what you get.E And he says; "Don't youD E D know, how hard it is,Continues after the adE to hit theD E D ground, and mean it.E D And mean it."G A 3. Walk the jangling streets of theE city,G A E Trying to find the buried sun.G F C You could drowned yourself inG/B jewels,D Am7 G A Like a thousand other fools,E C While you wonder, waitingG for it to be done.E And he cries; "Why don't we celebrate, why don't we celebrate,G Love can makeA you sad, come on, Let's driveE ourselves mad."E And he'sD E D E aware, how hard it is, to kissD the sun,E D And mean it,E D and mean it.G A E 4. Standing on a rock, in a river.G A E Staring at the rain, made one.G F On the surface, flashingC G/B diamonds,D Am7 G Rolling down the twilightA canyon.E C And we shall kiss the sun, inG spite of him.E So why don't we celebrate, why don't we celebrate....
