 C
Well it's not so easy now

                         Am
Though it never was back then

     G
We still can't seem to work this out

     F                C
But you can still pretend

           F
And these tattered walls and burning bridges

  C              Am
Quickly start to fall

     G                  F               C
How long until there's nothing left at all?
[Verse]
 C
I've been to California, man

                     Am
I've seen them city lights

       G
Been stranded in the desert

           F                  C
Scorching days and freezing nights

      F
I'll never understand

            C             Am
Why people try to walk so tall

     G                  F               C
How long until there's nothing left at all?
[Chorus]
 C         F                    C
Don't you love what you’ve got used to?

        F  G               C
When we u-used to feel so free

           F               C       Am   G
Won't you wait a while in silence, love

  G                F  G  F
Watch it fall with me
[Instrumental] C C Am G F C F C Am G F C C [Verse]
 C
Well the old men said the great big apple

                 Am
Is rotten to the core

      G
With Wall Street skimming from the till

      F                  C
While no one minds the store

     F
And how could someone get so low

       C              Am
In a building so damn tall?

     G                  F               C
How long until there's nothing left at all?
[Verse]
  C
While chunks the size of Delaware

                     Am
Are falling off the poles

      G
Our heads are buried in the sand

      F              C
Our leaders dug the hole

      F
Like junkies hooked on fossil fuel

 C               Am
Headin' for withdrawal

     G                  F               C
How long until there's nothing left at all?
[Chorus]
 C         F                    C
Don't you love what you’ve got used to?

        F  G               C
When we u-used to feel so free

           F               C       Am   G
Won't you wait a while in silence, love

 C
Now the answers in our heads

                           Am
To the questions that were asked

     G
It boils up from underground

      F             Am   C
And leads us to the past

C      F
To a place that's long forgotten

         C             Am
When we had enough for all

     G                  F               C
How long until there's nothing left at all?
[Instrumental] C C Am G F C F C Am G F C [Chorus]
 C         F                    C
Don't you love what you’ve got used to?

 C       F      G         C
When we try to make our stand

          F               C    Am   G
The hourglass is growing empty now

 G                       F
Just to leave a pile of sand

   F        G  F   G  C
(Watch it faaaaall)
