System chords

[Cm]on the side of a cliff

And the waves crashing below were just said
[A#]to be
[G#]
[A]

myth

So
[Cm]they ignored
[A#]the

[G#]waters from the
[Cm]ships in the docks
[G#]Now the house
[Cm]on the cliff is
[G#]the reckage on the rocks

There was
[Cm]
[A] house in [A]
[G#]field on the
[Gm]side

[D#]of a cliff
[G#]And the
[Cm]waves crashing
[D#]below were just
[G#]said to be a myth
So they ignored the waters from the ships in the docks

Now the house on
[Cm]the cliff is the reckage on the rocks
[C]Nothing can fix the buildings flawed foundation

The scaffold in its stilts were
[Fm]the laws legislation
This house was doomed but they didnt care
They’d invested in the system that was beyond repair

When I was little I
[D#]dressed up as an astronaut
And explored outerspace

I dressed
[G]up as a superhero
And ran about the place
I dressed up as a fireman

And rescued
[C]those


[Cm]in

need

I dressed up
[G#]as a doctor
And cured every disease

It was crystal clear to me back then that the
[Cm]only problems that I could face
Would be the same problems that affect us all

But
[D#]of


[Gm]course this sense of common existence would suck down me in an instance

[As]
[Cm]though from birth I could walk but I was forced to crawl

So this
[G#]is such an exciting time to be
[C]alive

Our generations
[D#]gotta fight to survive
[G#]Its in
[Gm]your hands now
[G#]our future, our future, our future
