Verse 1

Pawn to e4, knight to f3 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3

Bishop to c4, knight to f6 2...Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6

Pawn to d4, then pawn to e5 4.d4 exd4 5.e5

My e-pawn hits f6, he's in a fix

He holds d4, I hold e5

Space and tempo, I come alive

Chorus

Pawn to d4, then pawn to e5 4.d4 exd4 5.e5

My e-pawn hits f6, come alive

Bishop to b5, knight takes d4 5...d5 6.Bb5 Ne4 7.Nxd4

Bishop takes c6, his pawns doubled for sure 7...Bd7 8.Bxc6 bxc6

Verse 2

Castles short, pawn to f3 9.O-O Bc5 10.f3

Pawn to f4, bishop to e3 10...Ng5 11.f4 Ne4 12.Be3

My knight on d4 blocks his d-pawn

My e-pawn and f-pawn roll on

Don't shove g4, don't bare my king

His doubled c-pawns, my endgame swing

Chorus

Pawn to d4, then pawn to e5 4.d4 exd4 5.e5

My e-pawn hits f6, come alive

Bishop takes c6, his pawns doubled for sure 7...Bd7 8.Bxc6 bxc6

Bridge

Centre wide open, the board runs free

Level by the engine, a grind for me

His knight on e4, my pawn on e5

My e-pawn and f-pawn keep the groove alive

Chorus

Pawn to d4, then pawn to e5 4.d4 exd4 5.e5

My e-pawn hits f6, come alive

Bishop to b5, knight takes d4 5...d5 6.Bb5 Ne4 7.Nxd4

Bishop takes c6, his pawns doubled for sure 7...Bd7 8.Bxc6 bxc6

Outro

Pawn to e5, I kick that knight 5.e5

My e-pawn hits f6, and the groove is tight

Push e5, take back on d4, double his c-pawns, and let the e- and f-pawns carry the parade.
