[Verse 1]
  G5         F#5      F5 
A legacy, so far removed,

E5
  One day will be improved.

 G5               F#5       F5
Eternal rights we left behind,

E5
  We were the better kind.

G5            F#5        F5
Two the same, set free too,

E5                         G5       F5
  I always looked to you,

E5                         G5       F5
  I always looked to you,

E5
  I always looked to you.
[Verse 2]
   G5                F5
We fought for good, stood side by side,

E5
  Our friendship never died.

   G5                  F#5        F5
On stranger waves, the lows and highs,

E5
  Our vision touched the sky.

  G5               F#5        F5
Immortalists with points to prove,

E5                         G5  F#5  F5
  I put my trust in you,

E5                         G5       F5
  I put my trust in you,

E5                         G5       F5
  I put my trust in you!

[Verse 3]
  G5             F#5          F5
A house somewhere on foreign soil,

E5
  Where aging lovers call.

   G5              F#5         F5
Is this your goal, your final needs

E5
  Where dogs and vultures eat?

   G5              F#5     F5
Committed still, I turn to go,

E5                         G5       F5
  I put my trust in you,

E5                         G5       F5
  I put my trust in you,

E5                         G5       F5
  I put my trust in you!
[Outro]
E5                    
  I put my trust in you!

G5      F5      E5
In you, in you, in you.

       G5    F5      E5
Put my trust in you, in you.
