[F] The gap between [Am] our lives
The gap our parents never [Dm] had
Stop those sounds, control your [Bb] minds
Replace the [Db] things that you [C] despise
All year [Am] round I hear you [Bb] say
It doesn't hurt [C] me, but I don't [Dm] care
I don't [Gm] believe in it [Db] anymore
But that it [C] acts for all of us cause
In [Dm] the [Gm] beginning
[C] When we [Am] were winning
[Bb] When our smiles were turned [Am] away
[D] In [A]
[Dm] the [Gm] beginning
[C] When we [Am] were winning
[Bb] When our smiles were turned [D] away
[A] But
[Bb] now I [C] forgive [F] us
[C] [Dm]
[Gm] Everlasting, everlasting
[D] [A]
[F] The world is full of [Am] refugees
Just like you and just [Dm] like me
But as people we have [Bb] a choice
To end [Db] the war with all [C] its flaws
So don't [Am] forget, son, don't [Bb] pretend
It's all the [C] same now in the [Dm] end
It was [Gm] set in a different [Db] life
To strike up [C] tears and have smile nights
[Dm] In the [Gm] beginning
[C] When we were [Am] winning
[Bb] When our smiles were turned [A] away
In [Dm]
the [Gm] beginning
[C] When [Am] we were winning
[Bb] When our smiles were turned [A] away
[D]
[A] But [Bb] now I [C] forgive us
