[Verse 1]
    E
The youth of the young is wasted

E
Wasted on the eager to fall

A
Wasted on the years where your fears are your peers

E
On the ones with no wisdom at all

    E
The wealth of the wealthy is wasted

E
Wasted on your greedy eyes

         A
When the difference is between what you want and you need

E
Is a line you never choose to find
[Pre-Chorus]
        C              Am     G      E
It goes on and on and on and on and on

         C            Am      G      E
It goes on and on and on and on and on, yeah
[Chorus]
E
There's a crack in the sky, yeah

G
Where the wrong feels right, yeah

A
Where the light gets overthrown

C                     B
It's a crisis of our own devices

There's a crack in the sky, yeah

Where the dark feels light, yeah

Where the truth is overgrown

C                     B
It's a crisis of our own devices
[Verse 2]
E
The folly of the fool is wasted

E
Wasted on your royal crown

A
No matter how much stuff, enough is never enough

E
Like giving a water to a man who's drownin'

E
The wisdom of the wise is wasted

 E
Wasted on your failin' sight

             A
The loudest voice in the fog sounds like a wounded dog

E
That the wise are hesitant to fight
[Pre-Chorus]
               C            Am      G      E
Yeah, it goes on and on and on and on and on (Mm)

         C            Am      G      E
It goes on and on and on and on and on (Hey!)

'Cause there's a crack in the sky, yeah

G
Where the wrong feels right, yeah

A
Where the light gets overthrown

It's a crisis of our own devices

Try to prove me wrong

                 C
Can you prove me wrong?

                        B
Or do you just sing it alone
N.C. Hey! [Chorus]
E
There's a crack in the sky, yeah

G
Where the wrong feels right, yeah

A
Where the light gets overthrown

Where the dark feels light, yeah

Where the truth is overgrown

C                      B          E
It's a crisis of our own devices
