Switzerland Ghost Mice
[E] [-] [A] [-] [B]
Looking [E]out the foggy window of the train it seemed insane,
The rain was [A]comin' down so fast it couldn't make it in the drains
And all the [B]roads had turned to [A]rivers and the [B]stairs to water[A]falls.
All the [B]buildings in [A]Zurich had great graff[B]iti on their [A]walls
We only [E]saw it for a second when the [A]lightning bolts would [E]strike
[E]The city had no power; there was a [A]monster in the sky blocking [B]out the sunlight
It was [B]hard to tell whether [A]it was [B]day or [E]night
When our [B]train pulled into the [A]station, we were [B]happy just to be [A]alive
We had [B]made it on time and the [A]storm had surrendered
We [B]set up our tent in the [A]victorious sunlight
And we [E]walked into town and we [A]looked around
We [B]stared through the windows at [A]Swiss army knives
We were [E]in a deep valley in the [A]middle of two lakes
With the [B]mighty mystic mountains rising [A]up on each side
And we [A]slept that night and we [B]dreamed about the [E]climb that we were gonna [A]make
Cause [A]life's not about the [B]stuff that you have; it's [E]more about the chances you take
[E]It's more about the [B]chances you [E]take.
We bought [E]two cans of [B]beans, one for [A]you and one for [E]me,
And a [B]bag of peanuts too then we [A]laced up our [E]boots
We hiked up the [B]hills passing [A]ponies on the [E]way
Stoppin', reachin' [B]through the fence to [A]feed them some [E]hay
[E]Now the trees grew so [B]thick that we [A]couldn't see their [E]tops
[E]As we twisted like the [B]roots through the [A]rocks and the [E]moss
[E]Coming down around the [B]corner came a [A]herd of baby [E]lambs
[E]I swear I took at [B]least a hundred [A]pictures of [E]them
When we [B]made it out of the trees and back [A]into the light
We could [B]see we were gettin' pretty [A]close to the sky
Under our [B]feet perfect [A]blue, pink, and white
Were the [B]smallest, sweetest [A]edelweiss
And [E]Gandalf would have been a great [B]guide
As the [E]trail we were [B]trusting [A]hugged the mountainside
[E]Deep down below in the [B]ice and the snow
The [A]river cut a gorge through the [E]rock like a knife
[E]And we could see the spot where the [B]giant pushed his [A]feet into the [E]stone
[E]And kept the mountain from [B]fallin', [A]saving the village [E]below
[E]And the crows, [B]the crows, [A]came to say hello
They [E]laughed at you and [B]me; they said we were way too [E]slow
[E]The crows, [A]the crows, without [A]effort, sank and [E]rose
[E]They laughed at you and [B]me
[B]They sang that [A]we should have [E]flown
When we got up to the top we had to stop cause there was nowhere left to go
And so we ate our beans and we shared our nuts with those big black braggin' crows
We smashed our cans, we put on our packs, and started back on our way home
I liked goin' up better than comin' down but everything comes back down, you know
Yeah, the [E]sun, the [B]sun will [A]melt away the snow,
And the [E]rivers, the [B]rivers will [A]flow,
the [E]crows, the [B]crows, will sing to[A]gether and [E]alone
[E]This whole [B]world is our [A]home. They said [E]make this [B]world your [A]home.
