21st Century Survival Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C]
[G][Am][F][C]
[Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I've got
the 21st century survival blues
A condi[G]tion brought on by
watching the news
[Dm]Things have been quiet for far too long
And if I [E]know human beings,
things are gonna go wrong
We were [Am]raised in a glade
of unsustainable peace
Not [G]many of us ever have to
live on our knees
I'm [Dm]scared that I won't have the
strength that it takes
To stand [Esus4]up when the levee breaks[E]
So [G]meet me at home

[Verse 2]
[F]when the sirens go off[G]
I don't wanna [Em]be alone so
don't [Am]you get lost
[G]I know [F]a place where the two of us can hide
[G]We can barricade the[Em] door
and we'd be safe inside
[Am]When the harsh[G] winds blow[F]
and the world [G]gets cold
You can't trust [Em]kindness
and you can't eat gold
[Am]I've got the 2[G]1stc[F]entury survival blues
[G]But to tell you[Em] the truth I
just need you

[Verse 3]
I've got [Am]the 21st century
survival blues
A genera[G]tion raised up without
paying its dues
[Dm]Comfortable enough to play
around with doubt
Without [Esus4]knowing how to s[E]urvive
when the lights go out
And if we [Am]take away the things
that they've been depending on
We'll be [G]flailing like children
in a nursery home
So I [Dm]started making lists
of the essential things
For when the [Esus4]storms bring wh[E]at they bring

[Verse 4]
So meet [F]me at home when the sirens go [G]off
I don't wanna [Em]be alone so
don't [Am]you get lost
And [G]I k[F]now a place where
the two of us can hide
[G]We can barricade the[Em] door
and we'd be safe inside
[Am]When the harsh[G] winds
[F]blow and the world gets cold
[G]You can't trust kindnes[Em]s
and you can't eat gold
[Am]I've[G] got the 21st [F]century survival blues
[G]But to tell you[Em] the truth I just
need [Am]you-you[G][A]
[Am]
[F]I I[C] ju[Em]st n[Am]eed you,
[C][G][Am]
[F]you[C]

[Verse 5]
[F]I've got the 21st century
survival blues
I've got [F#dim]shel ter,
drinking [F#m]water I've got [D]cupboards of food
And I [F]know I can survive in my
apocalypse home
But what's the [E]point of surviving
if you're just surviving alone

[Verse 6]
So meet me [F]at home when the sirens go off
[G]I don't wanna be [Em]alone
so don't you get [Am]lost
And [G]I know [F]a place where
the two of us can [G]hide
We can barricade [Em]the door
and we'd be safe in[Am]side
When the [G]harsh winds [F]blow
and the world gets cold
[G]No you can't trust kindnes[Em]s
and you can't eat gold
[Am]I've got the 2[G]1stc[F]entury survival blues
[G]But to tell you[E] the truth,
let me tell you the truth
I just need [F]you,
[C][G][Am]
[F]you[C][Em][Am]
I just need [F]you,[C][G][Am]
[F]you[C]
[Em][Am]
