[Intro] Am  C/B  C/G  C/B

[First Part]

Am                    C/B       
Stop asking musicians what they 
C/G
think
He said softly as he poured himself 
  C/B    Am
a second drink
                       C/B         
And outside, the world slipped over
 C/G        C/B
 the brink
Am                               
We all thought we had nothing to 
C/B   C/G
lose
That we could trust in crossed 
            C/B
fingers and horseshoes
Am                                 
That everything would work out, no 
C/B            C/G
matter what we choose

[Pre-Chorus]

G                       C/G      
The first time it was a tragedy, the
F
 second time was a farce
G            C/G                  
Outside it's nineteen-thirtythree so
F
 I'm hitting the bar

[Chorus]

            C/G               G
But I don't know what's going on 
anymore
          Am
The world outside is burning with a 
brand new light
    F
But it isn't one that makes me feel 
warm
G                  C       
Don't go mistaking your house 
                        F
burning down for the dawn
G                  C       
Don't go mistaking your house 
                        F
burning down for the dawn

[Second Part]

Am                       
If I was from the greatest 
                    C/B
generation I'd be pissed
C/G                               
Surveying the world slipping back 
   C/B
to this
Am                                 
I'd be screaming at my grand kids: 
C/B         C/G      C/B
"We already did this"
Am                      C/B
Be suspicious of simple answers
C/G                               
That shit's for fascists and maybe
   C/B
 teenagers
Am                             
You can't fix the world if all 
C/B           C/G
you have is a hammer

[Pre-Chorus]

G                       C/G      
The first time it was a tragedy, the
F
 second time was a farce
G            C/G                  
Outside it's nineteen-thirtythree so
F
 I'm hitting the bar

[Chorus]

            C/G               G
But I don't know what's going on 
anymore
          Am
The world outside is burning with a 
brand new light
    F
But it isn't one that makes me feel 
warm
G                  C       
Don't go mistaking your house 
                        F
burning down for the dawn
G                  C       
Don't go mistaking your house 
                        F
burning down for the dawn
        Am   C/B   C/G   C/B
For the daaaaaawwwwwwwn

( Am   C/B   C/G )

[Bridge]

G          C
Aren't you ashamed of this?
F
I surely hope that you are
G            C          F
We live in a society that's maybe 
heading for Mars
G             C                  
But down here we still have a 
       F
shower of bastards taking charge
G            C                    
Outside it's nineteen-thirtythree so
F
 I'm hitting the bar

[Chorus]

                        G
But I don't know what's going on 
anymore
          Am
The world outside is burning with a 
brand new light
    F
But it isn't one that makes me feel 
warm
G                  C       
Don't go mistaking your house 
                        F
burning down for the dawn
G                  C       
Don't go mistaking your house 
                        F
burning down for the dawn
G                  C       
Don't go mistaking your house 
                        F
burning down for the dawn
G                  C       
Don't go mistaking your house 
                        F
burning down for the dawn
