Capo - 1st Fret
F#m - X-10-12-12-11-10
A
40 million refugees
DEA
with no place on this earth to call their home
A
one for every aimless graduate
DE A
with nothing else to show for it but loans
DA
And those of us who make a mark
EA
use someone else's blood
D A
Our western stain won't wash away
EA
won't vanish in the flood
Bm A
It goes deeper through each hurricane
D EBm A
and tidal wave and war
C#m F#m
We want everything we see
Bm E A
and once it's gone we just want more
A
Atlas had those shoulders
D E A
We've got Ambien and Jamesons and blow
A
to bind us in a bubble
D E A
keep the newsprint nightmare distant and remote
DA
But when we wake in guillotines
E A
And pitch our screaming fits
DA
When the governors strikes up the band
EA
And gags our parted lips
Bm A
When the worst case shows up dressed and dazzling,
D EBm A
Ready for the ball
C#m F#m
Boy, that bubbles bound to burst,
Bm E A
And what a tragic way to fall
A
The tabloids tell us hate the rat that
D E A
Strikes those subways closed and puts you out
AD
Forgot those 50 hour tunnel weeks inhaling
E A
Steel dust poison through his mouth
DA
Well if he dont deserve a pension that
E A
Makes his family feel secure
DA
If we're now so disconnected
EA
it's our reflections we ignore
Bm
And if our constant choices
ADEBmA
skim and pass the writing on the wall
C#mF#m
Then, I'm sad to say we're lost
Bm EA
and I'm embarrassed for us all
Just play that same pattern over until the end of the song...
