    Am
Hey kid
                 C
Your story's not dead yet
                Em
I know it's all fucked up
                F
I know it feels hopeless
     Am
Yeah

    Am
Hey kid
                C
Your heart is a weapon
                     F
Against the fools of armageddon
       Am
Uh huh

    Am
Hey kid
                     C
The static's getting thicker
                     Em
I hope you can still picture
                F
A world without tears
            Am
We need you here
            C
We need you here
            Em
We need that here
             F
We need that here
      Am
Uh huh

       Am
We got soul on command
        C
We got sex on demand
        Em
We got everything
                    F
But nothing's really real

       Am
We got hyper confession
        C
We got constant compression
        Em
We got fatigue and violence

A war against silence
  G
When all we need
                    F
Is something we can feel
                     Am
Is something we can feel

Am
Okay, all right
          C
Okay, all right
                              Em
Okay, all right, it's not all right
                              F
Okay, all right, it's not all right
               Am
You'll have to fight
         C
The war inside
            Em
The endless night
              F
That's modern life
               Am
That's modern life
              c
That's modern life
              Em
That's modern life
              F
That's modern life

    Am
Hey kid
                 C
Your story's not dead yet
                Em
I know it's all fucked up
                F
I know it feels hopeless
     Am
Yeah
