[Intro] E A E A [Verse 1]
E                           A
There's somethin' happenin' here.

        E                A
What it is ain't exactly clear.

          E                   A
There's a man with a gun over there

          E                    A
A-tellin' me I've got to beware.
[Chorus]
                     E
I think it's time we stop.

          D
Children, what's that sound?

A                     A7
Everybody look what's goin' down.
E A E A [Verse 2]
E                          A
There's battle lines bein' drawn.

         E                    A
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.

E                           A
Young people speakin' their minds

          E                  A
A-gettin' so much resistance from behind.
[Chorus]
             E
It's time we stop.

E                        A       G
What a field day for the heat.

  E                      A       G
A thousand people in the street

        E                    A  G
Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs

        E                    A    G
Mostly sayin' hooray for our side.

             E
It's time we stop.

E A E A [Verse 4]
E                A
Paranoia strikes deep.

 E                      A
Into your life it will creep.

E                             A
It starts when you're always afraid.

            E                      A
Step out of line, the men come and take you away.
[Chorus/Outro]
           E
You better stop.

     D
Hey, what's that sound?

A                     A7
Everybody look what's goin'...

           E
You better stop.

     D
Hey, what's that sound?

A                     A7
Everybody look what's goin'...

You better stop.

Everybody look what's goin'...

           E
You better stop.

          D
Children, what's that sound? (fade out)

A                     A7
Everybody look what's goin'...
