[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][Am][F]
[G][Am][F][Am][F]
[Am][F]
[G][Am]

[Verse 1]
And on that [F]day,
they'll tell [Am]you
That life [F]hummed on with
no [Am]clue
The warning [F]signs were all
dismissed or shouted [G]down
So [Am]it goes
The kings all [F]failed to tell
[Am]us (ooh)
The mad[F]men failed to sell
[Am]us (ooh)
On what would [F]then befall the
only life [G]we know

[Verse 2]
Were they [Dm]burning signal fires
[F]To guide us to the fields?
[Dm]Or building funeral pyres?
The [F]outcome of a [G]final appeal

[Verse 3]
[Am]The city lines are down
[C]The kerosene's run out[Dm]
(ooh)
The fracturing of [Em]all we relied
[G]upo[Am]n (ooh)
Let's shed this unclean
[C]skin (ooh)
And start to feel [Dm]again (ooh)
'Cause all the shoulders (ooh)
[Em]On which t[G]o cry are gone
[Am][F][Am][F]

[Verse 4]
[Am]The paranoia[F] gripp[Am]ed us
The rain turned engines to rust
The panic set in [F]like a cancer to our hearts
[G]Spreading through
[Am]We bet on finite[F] geniu[Am]s (ooh)
Or prayed [F]for gods to save
us [Am](ooh)
But there was no [F]an tidote
Disease tore us [G]apart
We left [Dm]bod ies in the fields
(bodies in the fields)
So num[F]b that we forg[G]ot how to feel

[Verse 5]
[Am]The city lines are down [C](ooh)
The kerosene's run [Dm]out
(ooh)
The fracturing of [Em]all we relied
[G]upo[Am]n (ooh)
Let's shed this unclean
[C]skin (ooh)
And start to feel [Dm]again (ooh)
'Cause all the shoulders
[Am]On which to cr[G]y are gone
[Am]

[Verse 6]
[F]He looked at the[Dm] fields,
[Am]and then his hands
"All I need is what I [F]have"
Then fell a [Dm]tear of [C]happiness,
[Am]ooh ooh
[F]She watched the wor[Dm]ld
[D]crumble [Dm]away[Am]
"Is this the en[G]d of yesterday?"
[F]"Lord, I hope so,[G]" is all he sai[Am]d
All gone are the [F]old guards
(gone are the old [Dm]guards)
[D]Gone are [Dm]the c[Am]old,
cold wars (gone are the cold [C]wars)
Weightless,
we [F]go forth (weightless, we go forth)
[G]On wings of amnesty
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[G]All we [Am]relied on now
The city lines are down
[C]The kerosene's run out
[Dm]The fracturing of
[Em]all we r[G]elied upon
[Am]Let's shed this unclean skin
[C]Let's start to feel again
[D]With no more shoulders,
[Em]shoulders [G]to cry on [Am]now (wooah)
The weight that we once felt is gone
No [C]more, no more,
[D]no mor[Em]e (wooah)
[G]No more, [Am]no more[C],
no [D]more (the weight that we once felt [D]is gone)
The [Em]weight that we [G]once felt is gone
