[Intro 1]
[A5][A][A5][Am][G][A5][Am]
[Dm][A5][Dm][C5][G][A5][Dm][C]
[C5][G][A5][Dm][C][G]
[A5][Dm][C][G]
[A5]

[Verse 1]
When our rivers run [A5]dry and our crops cease [F]to g[E]row[A5]
And when our summers grow [Am]longer
and winters [F]won't [E]snow[A5]
From [F]the banks of the ocean
and [Dm]the ice in the hills
To [Am]the fight in the desert where
pro[E]gress stands still
[F]When we've lost our will

[Verse 2]
[G]That's how we'll kno[A5]w[Dm]
[C]This is not a t[G]est, we'll kno[A5]w
[Dm]This is ca[C]rdiac arre[G]st
Of a [A5]world too proud [Dm]to admit
[C]our [G]mistakes
[A5]We're crash[G]ing in[Dm]to the
ground [C]as we all [Dm]fall from grace
[A5]

[Verse 3]
When the air [Am]that we breathe [A5]becomes
air that we [F]choke[G][E][A5]
When the marsh fever spreads [Am]from
[A5]the swamps to our [F]homes[G][E][A5]
When your [F]home on the range has
been [Dm]torn down and paved and
The [Am]buffalo roam to
[E]a slaughterhouse grave
[F]What more will it [G]take

[Verse 4]
For us to [Am]know[A5][Dm]
[C]This is not [G]a test, oh [Am]no[A5][Dm]
This is [C]cardiac ar[G]rest
Of a [Dm]world [A5]too p[Dm]roud to
ad[C]mit our mis[G]takes
[Dm]Kiss[A5]ing the g[Dm]round a[C]s we all [G]fall from grac[A5]e
[F][Dm]

[Interlude 1]
[A5][Am][A5][F][G][A5]
[F][Dm][G]
[A5]
This [Am]is a [C]chance t[Am]o set

[Verse 5]
[F]
thing[Dm]s straight
[A5]To bend or break[Am] the rules[F]
back [G]in to [A5]place
[Am]There is [A5]no mi[F]ddle g[Dm]round,
no [G]compromise, we've drawn the line
With [A5]perfect [Am]aim,
[A5]we stand[F] back [Dm]and throw
Glass [A5]win [Am]dows break and
it's [F]all about to [G]blow
[A5]Lights go [Am]out as we [F]pass the t[Dm]orch again
In [C]hope that it stays lit

[Interlude 2]
[G][F][Dm][Am][F]
[Am][F][G][Am][A5]
[Am][G][F][Dm][A5]
[E][F][Dm][Am]
[Dm][F]

[Verse 6]
[F]Neutrality means that you
[Dm]don't really care
'Cause the [Am]struggle goes on even
[E]when you're not there
[F]Blind and unaware
[G]

[Verse 7]
That's how we'll [Am]know[F]
[C]This is not [G]a test, oh [Am]no[G]
[Dm]This is [C]cardiac ar[G]rest
Of a [A5]world too [Dm]proud to ad[C]mit
our mis[G]takes
[A5]We're crash[Am]ing int[Dm]o the gr[C]ound as[G] we all, yeah we all,

[Outro 1]
all fall from grace
[A5][A5][A5]
