[C] [G] It's coming to pass
[C] My [G] country is coming apart
The whole thing's becoming such a bumbling farce
Was that a pivotal historical moment?
We just went [C] stumbling past
Well, here we are
[G] Dancing in the rumbling dark
So come a little closer
Give me something to grow
[C] Give me your [G] beautiful crumbling heart
Another disaster
[Em] Catharsis another half discarded mirage another [G] mask slips.
[C] I face off with the [G] physical
My head's ringing from the love of the stars
There is too much pretense here
Too much depends on the fragile wages and the extortionate rents here
We're working [Em] every dread day that is given us
Feeling like the person we [G] could be it really [C] isn't us like we're gonna [G] buckle
Underneath the trouble like any minute now our struggles are going [C] to finish
And then we [G] smile with all our friends
[C] It's hard we've got our heads down and our hackles up backs against the [G] wall
I can feel you [C] aching none of this was written in stone.
There is nothing
We're forbidden to [G] know and I can feel things [Em] changing
Even when I'm weak and I'm breaking I stand weeping at the train [G] station because I can see your [C] faces
There is so much peace to be found in [Am]
[Em] people's faces.
[D] [G]
[C] I
Saw it [G] roaring.
I felt it clawing at my clothes like a [C] grieving friend
[G] It said there are no new beginnings until everybody sees that the [C] old ways need to end
But it's hard to accept [G] that we are all one and the same flesh
given the rampant divisions between
oppressor complicit and [Em] oppressed
But we are though
more [G] empathy
less [C] greed and more respect
[G] All I've got to say has already been [C] said
You heard it from yourself [G] when you were lying in your bed, and you couldn't sleep
[C] Thinking couldn't we be doing things [G] differently?
I'm listening [Em] to every little whisper in the distance singing hymns and [G] I can I [C] can feel things
Changing [G] it's
[C] hard.
We got our heads down and our hackles up backs against the [G] wall
I can feel your heart [C] racing none of this was written in stone the currents fast
But the river moves [G] slow and I can feel things [Em] changing even when I'm weak and I'm breaking I stand weeping at the train [G] station
Because I can see your [C] faces
There's so much peace to be found in [Em] people's faces.
[D] [G] I love [C] people's faces
