Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][C]
[Em][Am][Em][C]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
"Stop asking [Am]musicians
[Em]what they think"
[C]He said softly as he poured
himself [Em]a second drink
[Am]And outside,
the world slipped [Em]over the [C]brink[Em]
[Am]We all thought we had nothing to lose[Em]
[C]That we could trust in crossed
fingers and [Em]horseshoes
[Am]That everything would work out,
no [Em]mat ter what we choose
[C][Em]

[Verse 2]
[G]The first time it was a tra[C]gedy
[F]The second time is a farce
[G]Outside [C]it's [F]1933 so
I'm hitting the bar

[Verse 3]
But I don't [F]know [C]what's
going [G]on anymore
The world out[Am]side is burning
with a brand new light
But it is[F]n't one that makes
me feel warm
[G]Don't go mistaking your [C]house
burning down for the [F]dawn
[G]Don't go mistaking your [C]house
burning down for the dawn
[F]

[Verse 4]
If I was [Am]of the greatest generation
I'd be pissed
Surveying the [C]world that I built
slipping back into this
I'd be [Am]screaming at my
grandkids: "We already [Em]did t[C]his"
[Am]Be suspicious of simple answers[Em]
[C]That shit's for fascists
and maybe teenagers
You [Am]can't fix the world if all
you have is a ham[C]mer

[Verse 5]
[G]The first time it was a tra[C]gedy
[F]The second time is a f[G]arce
Outside [C]it's [F]1933 so
I'm hitting the bar

[Verse 6]
But I don't [C]know what's
going [G]on anymore
The world out[Am]side is burning
with a brand new light
But it is[F]n't one that makes
me feel warm
[G]Don't go mistaking your [C]house
burn[G]ing [C]down for the [F]dawn
[G]Don't go mistaking your [C]house
burn[G]ing [C]down for the [F]dawn

[Interlude 1]
For the dawn
[Am][Em][C][Em]
[Am][Em][C]
[Am][Em]
[C][Em][Am]
[C][G]

[Verse 7]
Aren't you [G]ashamed of [C]this?
[F]I surely hope that you are
[G]We live in a socie[C]ty that's
[F]maybe heading for [G]Mars[C]

[Verse 8]
[G]But down here we sti[C]ll have a shower of
[F]bastards leading the [G]charge
Outside [C]it's [F]1933 so
I'm hitting the bar

[Verse 9]
But I don't [C]know [G]what's
going on anymore
The world out[Am]side is burning
with a brand new light
But it is[F]n't one that makes
me feel warm
[G]Don't go mistaking your [C]house
burning down for the [F]dawn
[G]Don't go mistaking your [C]house
burning down for the [F]dawn
[G]Don't go mistaking your [C]house burning
down for the [F]dawn[Dm]
[G]Don't go mistaking your house
burning down for the dawn
