[Intro 1]
[Am]
[Em][Am]
[G]
There [Am]was a

[Verse 1]
house
in a field on [G]the side of a cliff
And the [F]waves crashing below
were [G]just said to be a myth
[Am]So they ignore the warnings
from [G]the ships in the docks
Now the [F]house on the cliff is the
[G]wreckage on the rocks
There [C]was a

[Verse 2]
[Am]house [F]in a field
[Am]on t[G]he side of a cliff
And [F]the waves crashing below
were just [Bdim]said to be a m[G]yth
[Am]So they ignore the warnings
from [G]the ships in the docks
Now [Am]the house on [F]the cliff is the
[Bdim]wreckage [Bm]on the ro[Am]cks

[Verse 3]
[Am]Nothing [F]can [Am]fix the building's
[G]flawed foundation
[F]The scaffolding and stalks were
the [G]laws and [Bm]legislation

They'd in[F]vested in the system
that was [E]beyond [Am]repair

[F]I I dressed up as a superhero,
and ran about [Am]the place
I dressed up as a fireman,
and rescued [C]those in [Am]need[F]
I dressed up as a doctor,
and cured every [Am]dis ease

[Verse 5]
It was crystal clear to me back then
that the [G]only problems that I could face
[F]Would be the same problems
[G]that affect us all
[Am]But of course this sense of common existence
was [G]sucked out of me in an instance
As [F]if from birth I could walk
but I was [G]forced to crawl
So [Am]this an

[Verse 6]
exciting [G]time, to be alive
[F]Our generation's gotta [G]fight, to survive
[Am]It's in your hands now,[G]
there's no [F]time
Our [Am]future, our future
