[G]
[N] Alright, give us a clap Matt.
[Ab] It's [Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Bbm] [Eb] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab]
the shape of [Cm] things to come, [Db] it's that [Ab] moment in the sun.
[Db] It's the wild [Ab] reckless turning [Ebm] of the tide.
[Ab] Sure as every shout begins [Db] with a whisper [Ab] in the wind.
[Db] Can't deny it's [Eb] quite a time to be [Ab] alive.
It's the changing of the guard, [Db] it's the calm [Ab] before the storm.
[Db] At the [Ab] crossroads when you're forced [Eb] to draw the line.
[Fm] Give some love and take a [Db] stand, cause the [Ab] future's in your hands.
[Db] Starting once upon [Eb] a time [Ab] to be alive.
[Fm] It's the sound of the alarm, it's [Db] the push against the grain.
[Ab] It's the single rebel [Eb] candle that ignites a million [Fm] flames.
It's an ocean [Db] overflowing, flooding when the levee breaks.
[Eb] It's when you say, the [Db] sky's the limit [Eb] when the ground [Ab] is giving way.
[Db]
[Ab] [Bbm] [Eb] [Ab]
It's the riots in the [Cm] streets, [Db] it's a war [Ab] you wage for peace.
[Db] It's the [Ab] opposition's [Bbm] brazen battle [Eb] cry.
[Ab] Through the widening divide [Db] where [Ab] alliances collide.
[Db] Fighting blindly for [Ebm] a time [Ab] to be alive.
It's the blazing path [Cm] you pave [Fm] with each turning of a page.
It's the [Ab] moral of a [Eb] story gonna rise.
[Ab] It's the [Cm] poetry of [Fm] truth, it's a song that sings the blues.
[Bbm] Playing softly for [Eb] a time [Ab] to be alive.
[Fm] It's the tolling of the bell, [Db] it's an echo loud and clear.
[Ab] It's the shackles around your [Eb] ankles, it's the flowers in your hair.
[Fm] It's a floor plan for destruction, [Db] it's a road map toward repair.
It's [Eb] what appears [Gb] along a highway [Ebm] leading [Ab] anywhere but here.
[Db]
[Ab] [Db] [Eb] [Ab]
It's the progress through the cracks in [Db] a ceiling [Ab] made of glass.
[Db] It's a [Ab] finger on the button, say [Eb] goodbye.
[Ab] It's the anger in [Cm] the [Db] crowd when they burn [Ab] the cities down.
[Db] In the [Ebm] ashes of a time [Ab] to be alive.
It's the point [Cm] of no return, [Db] it's the lessons [Ab] that you learn.
[Db] It's the flags [Ab] or gods or facts [Eb] you stand behind.
[Fm] Bridge a gap [Cm] or build a wall, [Db] some will rise [Fm] and some will [Ab] fall.
[Bbm] Either way, [Eb] oh, a time [Ab] to be alive.
[Fm] [Bbm] With our weary [Eb] heads held high as [Cm] we face an [Fm] uphill climb.
[Db] Better keep on [Eb] keeping on, [Cm] cause a [Fm] change is gonna come.
[Db] Sing it loud, oh, what [Eb] a time to be [Ab]
alive.
[Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab]
Yeah.
[E] Recording that class, what [Bb] a time to be alive.
What a time to be alive.
Anyway, this next song is called What a Time to Be Alive.
It's on my new album, as are most of these.
It's called Catch Me If You Can.
You can find it everywhere.
[E] This song goes like this.
I figured everybody was saying, what a time to be alive.
Everywhere I went, people were just like, what a time to be alive.
What a time to be alive.
It's like, man, that squirrel just ate that nut.
What a time to be alive.
And the toilet's clogged.
What a time to be alive.
Everything seemed to be like that.
And so I was just like, I guess I gotta write a song with that in there.
So that's what I did.
It goes like this.
Someone stole my harmonica, Rack the Iron Knights.
I don't have the harmonica, so just pretend
