The Blues

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

Bm                      G
Is this the finger or just another 
fist?
Bm                      G
 Is this the kingdom or just a hit 
n' miss?
Em              G                
A misdirection, most in all this 
       Bm    G
desperation

D                       A
Is this what they call freedom?
                        Bm
Is this what you call pain?
                        G          
Is this what they call discontented
     D
 fame?

                     A
It'll be a day like this one
                      Bm
When the world caves in
                      G
When the world caves in
                      D  G
When the world caves in

Bm                           G
I'm singing this one like a broken 
piece of glass
Bm                           G
From broken arms an' broken noses in
 the back
Em                       G       
Is this the New Year or just 
          Bm     G
another desperation?

D                           A
You're pushing till you're shoving
                        Bm
You bend until you break
Continues after the ad
                                G  
Till you stand on the broken fields
                     D
 where our fathers lay

                   A
It'll be a day like this one
                        Bm
When the world caves in
                        G
When the world caves in
                        D G
When the world caves in
                        D G
When the world caves in
                        D G
When the world caves in
                        Em F#m A
When the world caves in

D                           A
There's nothing here worth saving,
                    Bm
Is no one here at all?
                  G             
Is there any net left that could 
                D
break our fall?

                     A
It'll be a day like this one
                     Bm        
When the sky falls down and the 
             G                  
hungry and poor and deserted are 
        D
found
                A                  
Are you discontented? Have you been
             Bm
 pushing hard?
                           G       
Have you been through and down this
                       D
 broken house of cards?

                     A
It'll be a day like this one
                        Bm
When the world caves in
                        G
When the world caves in
                        D G D G
When the world caves in

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

                A               
Just as I could find you, do the 
                Bm
wicked never lose?
                   G            
Is there any honest song to sing 
                D
besides these blues?
                A
And nothing is okay
                        Bm
Till the world caves in
                        G
Till the world caves in
                        D
Till the world caves in
                        A
Till the world caves in
                        Bm
Till the world caves in
                        G
Until the world caves in
                        D
Until the world caves in
                        A
Until the world caves in
                        Bm
Until the world caves in
                        G
Until the world caves in
                        D
Until the world caves in
