Chords

[Verse 1]
Am     G                  D                F
Once again we behold the future behind the cloud

   C      G
It scares you

D                  E
Grown as a beauty, stained with tainted paint

Am    G                   D                    F
 Once born is the last of us and the skies are fallen

C    G
Lead me

D                  E                    Am
Into the brightest light, never-ending dawn

      G                  D                        F
We'll build us a wonder, gone through the maze in days

    C    G
In hindsight

D                   E                   F
Cloudy ahead, the skies always clear behind
[Pre-Chorus]
G   Am         C   D    Em
We shall not scare the children

F    G    Am        D             F       G
Cast our hope, beat us atop their joy of life
[Chorus]
C                         G
Every generation's every book

                         Am        F
Every place is getting drawn on, hurt

           C          G           Am         F
But we can save this world if we move time slower

C                          G
Every open window, we are giving to a child

              Am            F       C
That's how we buy ourselves out of time

       G              Am         F
We'll learn, all the world will burn
[Verse 2]
Am       G                  D                  F
All the future is built on maybe, albeit the whitest of lies

C      G
White lies

D                     E
They have the value, serving the purpose

Am      G                       D                 F
When we guide our children, the future's blinding light

           C     G
You can't leave, no

     D                   E                 F
They hope one day you'll live in a lighthouse
[Pre-Chorus]
G   Am         C   D    Em
We shall not scare the children

F    G    Am        D             F       G
Cast our hope, beat us atop their joy of life
[Chorus]
C                         G
Every generation's every book

                         Am        F
Every place is getting drawn on, hurt

           C          G           Am         F
But we can save this world if we move time slower

C                          G
Every open window, we are giving to a child

              Am            F       C
That's how we buy ourselves out of time

       G              Am         F
We'll learn, all the world will burn
[Bridge]
G        Em             A
We bring rocks into the dark

    D                G
In hopes they hit a mark

    Em           A         D
One day you'll know this blindness

     G         Em              A
The views and fears of the unknown

   D                    G
We hide what we don't know

    Em        F#                      G     A        Bm
But we should not tell you, there's a party in the black hole

Bm
Yet we

Bm
don't know
[Guitar Solo] [Chorus]
C                         G
Every generation's every book

                         Am        F
Every place is getting drawn on, hurt

           C          G           Am         F
But we can save this world if we move time slower

C                          G
Every open window, we are giving to a child

              Am            F       C
That's how we buy ourselves out of time

       G              Am         F
We'll learn, all the world will burn
[Outro]
D                        A
Every generation has a premise

                      Bm          G
In the circle getting drawn on, hurt

           D         A           Bm       G
Yet we can save this world if we moved on slower

      D                         A                          Bm
Can't let all the serious pull, maybe we should solve the problems

     G                  D
Now we're the first in line

      A             Bm        G      D
This world like a plot, we'll let unwind
