Blues

D                     G
Is this the New Year, or just 
another night?
D                     G
Is this the new fear, or just 
another fright?
G                Bm        
Is this the new tear, or just 
     A                  D
another desperation?

D                       G
Is this the finger, or just another 
fist?
D                       G
Is this the kingdom, or just a 
hit-and-miss?
G           Bm            A     
A misdirection, most of all this
            Bm
 desperation.

D
Is this what they call freedom?
A
Is this what you call pain?
Bm                                
Is this what they call 
  G
discontented fame?
D                        A
It'll be a day like this one,
A                       Bm
When the world caves in, when the 
world caves in,
G                     D
when the world caves in

D                      G
I'm singing this one like a broken 
piece of glass
D                          G
For broken arms and broken noses in 
the back
G                Bm        
Is this the New Year, or just 
     A                 Bm G
another desperation?

D                           A
You push until you're shoving
Continues after the ad
A
You bend until you break,
Bm                          G
Do you stand on the broken field 
where your fathers lay?
D                        A
It'll be a day like this one,
A                       Bm
When the world caves in, when the 
world caves in,
G                      D
when the world caves in

A                      Bm  G
When the world caves in,
G                      D   A
when the world caves in,
A                      A Bm G
when the world caves in

D                               A
There's nothing here worth saving,
A
There's no one here at all
Bm                         G
Is there any net left that could 
break our fall?
D                        A
It'll be a day like this one

A                      Bm
When the sky falls down,
Bm                  G     
when the hungry and poor and 
                    D
deserted are found.

D                     A
Are you discontented?
A                        Bm
Have you been pushing hard?
Bm                     G
Have you been throwing down this 
broken house of cards?
D                        A
It'll be a day like this one,
A                        Bm
When the world caves in, when the 
world caves in,
G                      D G D G
when the world caves in

D                                 
Is there nothing left now? Nothing
    G
 left to sing?
D                            
Are there any left who haven't 
                G
kissed the enemy?
G                Bm        
Is this the New Year, or just 
     A                    Bm G
another desperation?      Yeah, yeah

D                           A
Does justice ever find you?
A
Do the wicked never lose?
Bm                            
Is there any other song to sing 
                   G
besides these blues?
D               A
And nothing is OK,
A                       Bm
Till the world caves in, till the 
world caves in,
G                       D
till the world caves in, till the 
world caves in.
A                       Bm
Till the world caves in, till the 
world caves in,
G                       D
till the world caves in, till the 
world caves in.
A                       Bm
Till the world caves in, till the 
world caves in,
G                    D
till the world caves in,
