Intro: C5  C5 

  C5
Listen, children
           E5
don't give up on this world we're livin' in
          F5
an endless chorus of beeping
                            C5                         G5
And countless digits, we're praying to God from these holes that we're digging
C5                        E5
Oh, I get that it's all cataclysmic and someday we'll fall
      F5
what good is a warning?
                             C5                     G5
Like old man before me, I'll rise up and meet the road
 

G5
I have no fear of the crash of the tumbling markets
F5
Why bother saving with holes in my pockets?
G5
It's all a relic someday
F5                                         C5
we cannot look back and wonder what money paid for


C5
Hold on, lover
     E5
It's never the worse that we've seen
F5
there's nothing new

I would gladly talk through 
     C5                           G5
tin cans with some string tied between
C5
Over land, over sea
         G5
They'll threaten you as far as their guns can reach
F5
Don't think about it

Or what allowed it 
C5
Just enlighten

G5
What do I worship?

Send me my options
        F5
There's already too much,

too much, too often
      G5
They say peace is boring 

If that much is true
       F5
Why am I always running to what's un-pursued?
     C5              C5
I don't know...


Solo: G5  F5  G5  C5


C5
Oh now the moon is shaking
  E5 
Watching as his mother's taking
F5                               C5
Stock of what has been done...so long

G5
I have no fear of the crash of the tumbling markets
F5 
Why bother saving with holes in my pockets?
        G5
There's too many numbers that don't mean a thing
          F5
we should carve our initials into the machine
           G5
cause it's all a relic someday
F5                                        C5             C5
we cannot look back and wonder what money paid for
