[Verse 1] (Palm mute the main riff, and repeat through verse)
B5
I know all of my exits

                       F#
I'm always plannin' my escape

B5
It's the most aggressive symptom

                       F#
Of this collective phantom pain

B5
And the more that you ignore it

                       F#
The more it makes you go insane
(Main riff) Just look around [Verse 2] (Palm muted Main Riff through verse)
B5
It's the battle of the passwords

                       F#
It's the trumpets on the hill

B5
It's that constant paranoia

                       F#
It's the final fire drill

B5
And if you won't sing the anthem

                       F#
They'll go find someone else who will
They're crackin' down

[Chorus]
                     G      Em                      Bm
We're livin' in the future,     so shine a little light

D                        G   Em                         A
It may not make it any better, I'm just hopin' that it might

F#m                       G     Em                                      Bm
I'm not talkin' 'bout forever,    how 'bout just gettin' through the night?

D                    G      F#7#5                  Em
We're livin' in the future,    so shine a little light

[Verse 3] (Palm mute the main riff, and repeat through verse)
B5
I'm always lookin' over shoulders

                       F#
Not knowin' what I'm lookin' for

B5
Now that the feelin' someone's watchin'

                       F#
Isn't just a feelin' anymore

B5
Now that both sides of the aisle

                       F#
Are this good at keepin' score
(Main riff) We've crossed a line [Verse 4] (Palm muted Main Riff Through Verse)
B
There's a madness to the method

                       F#
There's a market for the fear

B5
It's that dance out on the razor's edge

                       F#
The wolf held by the ears

B5
It's the man behind the curtain

                       F#
It's the way of our frontiers
Since the dawn of time
