Intro Am  C/B  C/G  C/B 



[Verso 1]

Am                    C/B       C/G 
Stop asking musicians what they think 
                                      C/B    Am 
He said softly as he poured himself a second drink 
                       C/B          C/G        C/B 
And outside, the world slipped over the brink 
Am                               C/B   C/G 
We all thought we had nothing to lose 
                                           C/B 
That we could trust in crossed fingers and horseshoes 
Am                                 C/B            C/G 
That everything would work out, no matter what we choose

G                       C/G      F 
The first time it was a tragedy, the second time was a farce 
G            C/G                  F 
Outside it's nineteen-thirtythree so I'm hitting the bar

         C/G               G 
But I don't know what's going on anymore 
          Am 
The world outside is burning with a brand new light 
    F 
But it isn't one that makes me feel warm 
G                  C                               F 
Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn 
G                  C                               F 
Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn 
  

[Verso 2]

Am                                           C/B 
If I was from the greatest generation I'd be pissed 
C/G                                  C/B 
Surveying the world slipping back to this 
Am                                 C/B         C/G      C/B 
I'd be screaming at my grand kids: "We already did this" 
Am                      C/B 
Be suspicious of simple answers 
C/G                                  C/B 
That shit's for fascists and maybe teenagers 
Am                             C/B           C/G 
You can't fix the world if all you have is a hammer

G          C 
Aren't you ashamed of this? 
F 
I surely hope that you are 
G            C          F 
We live in a society that's maybe heading for Mars 
G             C                         F 
But down here we still have a shower of bastards taking charge 
G            C                    F 
Outside it's nineteen-thirtythree so I'm hitting the bar
