[Verse 1]
  G
I left you in the shelter

   Em            Bm
On a wet waikato day

    G
The rain came like a flood

        Em                   Bm
Washed our stamping ground away

    G
And so the ties were broken (never look back)

Em              Bm
Our situation's changed (Kia kaha)

  G
I wonder to myself now

Em                  Bm
If we are still the same
[Chorus]
D7sus/C                 G                       D7sus/C    G
We used to laugh at the words of the old school song      (Kia kia kia kia)

D7sus/C                      G              D7sus/C     G
But now I hope that you will ever be strong             (Kia kaha)
[Verse 2]
   G
We gathered in the basement

Em                  Bm
Like some religious sect

  G
A band of idle dreamers

      Em               Bm
In a small town safety net

     G
It's been as long as five years

Em                    Bm
Since we were face to face (Kia kaha)

      G
We're feeling for the first time

            Em                        Bm
Should have something to show for our age
[Chorus]
D7sus/C                 G                       D7sus/C    G
We used to laugh at the words of the old school song      (Kia kia kia kia)

D7sus/C                      G              D7sus/C     G
But now I hope that you will ever be strong             (Kia kaha)

D7sus/C                       G                  D7sus/C     G
When I left town I thought an angel watched over me         (Kia kia kia kia)

D7sus/C                    G
It was a shock to find the devil inside me, beside me (Kia kaha)
[Maori Haka] Bm A (x8) [Outro]
D7sus/C                  G 
Where did it go, I never noticed it passing

D7sus/C        G 
Already it's a long time ago...
