The News

[First Part]

 Bm
War, a war, a war on the far side
C7M                          Bm
On the other side of the planet
              Bm
And I've got war, a war

A war right behind my eyes
 C7M                             Bm
Right behind 'em just like a headache

[Pre-Chorus]

     G7M      F#m
So I     turn on the news
G7M      F#7
    Turn off the news

[Chorus]

Bm                                       A
   Every second, our collective hearts break
                                  G
All together, every single head shakes
                                  Em
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away

Turn on, turn off the news
Bm                                       A
   Every second, our collective hearts break
                                  G
All together, every single head shakes
                                  A
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away

Turn on, turn off the news

[Second Part]

Continues after the ad
 Bm
Far, I'm far, so far from the frontline
  C7M                           Bm
Quite the opposite, I'm safe inside
       Bm
But I worry and I give money

And I feel useless behind this computer
                 C7M
And that's just barely scratched
                   Bm
The surface of my mind

[Pre-Chorus]

     G7M      F#m
So I     turn on the news
G7M      F#7
    Turn off the news
G7M      F#m
    Turn on the news
G7M      F#7
    Turn off the news

[Chorus]

Bm                                       A
   Every second, our collective hearts break
                                  G
All together, every single head shakes
                                  Em
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away

Turn on, turn off the news
Bm                                       A
   Every second, our collective hearts break
                                  G
All together, every single head shakes
                                  A
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away

Turn on, turn off the news

[Bridge]

Bm
   Exploitative, performative

Informative and we don't know the half of it

It's restorable, deplorable

Exorable and, all alone, we call it normal
Bm
   Exploitative, performative

Informative and we don't know the half of it

Restorable, deplorable

Exorable and, all alone, we call it normal

All alone, we call it normal

Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
