No History

Am               F
The Future was a Plane through a 
skylight
C               Em
Over Tribeca at 8:45
Am               F
My brother, at a conference room 
table
C                      Em
Watched the future rearrange all our
 lives.


[Pre-Chorus]

F       C             F          
I was sleeping in her bed for the 
 C
future
F     C     G              C
1st & 20th, five miles away
F            C              
Her roommate knocked, he was a 
   F        C
relative stranger
F       C           G           
"Kev, I need you to come out 
           Em
here, okay?"  "Okay."


[Verse]

Am                  F
The future was me, drunk at my desk 
job:
C                     Em
"Update the database, reflect the 
deceased."
Am                     F
Cantor Fitzgerald as a digital 
graveyard
C                          
Next to each name, I typed a 
  Em
lowercase "d"

F       C             F          
I was frightened by the face of the 
 C
future
F          C        G              C
It had the teeth of perpetual war
F            C                  
I called my father, he said, "I 
F       C
know, I see it.
F            C           G      
I thought it made sense. I don't
                Em
 anymore."


[Chorus]

C           Am   F
The mosque on my corner
C       Am          G
The firetrucks everywhere
C        Am    F
The anger, The mourners
C           Am               G
No History, it's dead in the air

[Verse]

Am                  F
The future was an ad during 
football:
C                        Em
"We are supported by the will of the
 world."
Am                     F
From the floor, I felt everything 
tilting
C                             Em
I watched my brother hold his 10 
month old girl


[Pre-Chorus]

F             C                F
Fifteen years later, and we're 
            C
still in the future
F             C           
The blood and money don't fix 
G              C
anything
F            C                 F
We've grown accustomed to the 
            C
depths of the danger
F            C      G      
This is the future: severe and 
           Em
always happening


[Chorus]

C           Am   F
The mosque on my corner
C       Am          G
The firetrucks everywhere
C        Am    F
The anger, The mourners
C           Am               G
No History, it's dead in the air
