Intro: C  C 

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

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


C
Hold on, lover
     Em
It's never the worse that we've seen
F
there's nothing new

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

Or what allowed it 
C
Just enlighten

G
What do I worship?

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

too much, too often
      G
They say peace is boring 

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


Solo: G  F  G  C


C
Oh now the moon is shaking
  Em 
Watching as his mother's taking
F                               C
Stock of what has been done...so long

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