Verse

C                    Am           G               C
Two scientists are racing for the good of all mankind
              F
Both of them side by side

C                      G
So determined

C                Am              G                C
Locked in heated battle for the cure that is the prize

            F
but its so dangerous

     C
but they're determined


Chorus

Fmaj7
Their's is to win

G
if it kills them

Fmaj7                    G
they're just humans with wives and children

Reapeat intro

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high

under the microscope

hope against hope

Forging for the future

but to sacrifice their lives

both of them side by side

so determined
