Start Jamming...
[Db] What happened here?
[Gb]
The [F] butterfly has lost [Bbm] its wings
The air's too thick [Gb] to breathe
[F] And there's something in [Bb] the drinking [Ebm] water
The
[Gb]
sun comes up
The sun comes [Ebm] up and [Gb] you're alone
Your sense of purpose come undone
The [Ebm] traffic tails back [Gb] to the maze
[Ebm] And
[Gb] the news from the sky
Is [Ebm] looking better [Gb] for today
In every single way
But not [Ebm] for you
[Bbm]
World citizen
[Ebm]
World [Ab] [Gb] citizen
It's [C] [Fm]
[Ebm] not safe
All the [Ab] yellow birds are sleeping
[Gb] Cause the air's not fit for breathing
It's [C] not safe
[Bbm] Why [Ebm] can't we be
[Gb] Without [Ebm] beginning, [Ab] without end
[Gb] Why can't we be
[Ab] World [Bbm] [Db] citizen
[Ebm]
World [Ab] [Gb] citizen
And [C] [Fm]
if [Bbm] I stop
[Ebm] And [Fm] talk with you a [Gb] while
I'm overwhelmed by the scale
[Ab] Of everything you [Bbm] feel
A lonely [Ebm] interstate emergency
[Bbm] I want [Ebm] to feel
Till my [Ab] heart can take no more
And [Db] there's [Ebm] nothing in this world I wouldn't [Ab] give
[Ebm] I
[Db] want to [Ebm] brave
The [Ab] indifference of the days
I want [Gb] a conscience that will keep me Wide awake
You won't be disappointed
You won't be disappointed
I
[Bbm]
[G] [Gb] saw [Ebm] a face
[Gb] It was [Ab] a face I didn't know
Her sadness [Ebm] told me everything about [Abm] my own
And [Bb] let it [Ebm]
be
When least [Ab] expected there she is
Gone [Gb] the time and space that separates [Ebm] us
And [Bbm] I'm [Ebm] not safe
I think I [Ab] need a second skin
So I'm [Gb] not safe
[Ebm]
[Bbm] [Ebm] World citizen
[Db]
[Gb] World citizen
I [Bbm]
[Gb] travel by night
Across [Ebm] the steppes and [Gb] overseas
I want to understand the cost
Of everything that's lost
I want to pronounce all their names correctly
[Ebm]
[Bbm] [Db] World citizen
[Ebm] World [Ab]
[Bbm] [Ebm] [Gb]
citizen
I [C]
[Fm] won't be [Bbm]
disappointed
[Fm] I [Bbm]
[Fm] won't be
She [Ebm]
[Gb] [Ebm] doesn't laugh
We've gone from [Ab]
comedy to commerce
And [Ebm] she doesn't feel the ground she walks upon
I [Gb] turn away
And I'm not sleeping well at night
And while I know this isn't right
What can you do?
