Verse 1:
C majorC         FF         C majorC
She looked out the window and said, "The world's on fire"
C majorC             FF           G+G
That's when I laughed and poured her a glass of wine
FF           C majorC
We just stared at the TV
FF          C majorC
tryin' to find some meanin'
FF        C majorC         G+G
Hopin' that we'd wake up from this dream
     C majorC
Sometime tomorrow

Verse 2:
C majorC            FF      C majorC
Well the night came and went, not a damn thing changed
C majorC          FF         G+G
That's when I saw a tear fall from her eyes
FF              C majorC
She said, "What are we gonna do?
FF            C majorC
What's this world comin' to?"
FF      C majorC         G+G
For the first time in my whole life
       C majorC
I stood there speechless


Chorus:
  G+G    FF           C majorC
The load is heavy and the road is long
  E minorEm     FF     C majorC
And we've only begun to fight
FF         C majorC  FF         C majorC
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
FF     C majorC        G+G
We must go boldly into the darkness
      C majorC
And be the light


Verse 3:
C majorC         FF            C majorC
So I packed up my car and went lookin' for answers
C majorC        FF       G+G
To the questions weighin' on my mind
FF            C majorC  FF           C majorC
When did The Land of the Free become The Home of the Afraid?
FF       C majorC          G+G
Afraid of the world, afraid of the truth
        C majorC
Afraid of each other

Verse 4:
C majorC         FF               C majorC
And this ain't the country my grandfather fought for
C majorC         FF        G+G
But I still see the hate he fought against
FF        C majorC   FF         C majorC
Give rest to the tired, give mercy to the poor
FF       C majorC      G+G
Give warmth to the huddled masses
         C majorC
And I'll show you freedom


Chorus:
  G+G    FF           C majorC
The load is heavy and the road is long
  E minorEm     FF     C majorC
And we've only begun to fight
FF         C majorC  FF         C majorC
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
FF     C majorC        G+G
We must go boldly into the darkness
      C majorC
And be the light


Verse 5:
C majorC         FF       C majorC
I got a baby girl comin' in the spring
C majorC           FF         G+G
I'm worried 'bout the world she's comin' into
FF         C majorC   FF           C majorC
But she'll have my fight, she'll have her mama's fire
FF        C majorC       G+G
If anyone builds a wall in her journey
         C majorC
Baby, bust right through


Chorus:
  G+G    FF           C majorC
The load is heavy and the road is long

And we've only begun to fight

We just can't give in, we just can't give up
FF     C majorC        G+G
We must go boldly into the darkness
      C majorC
And be the light

Chorus:
   G+G    FF           C majorC
The load is heavy and the road is long
  E minorEm     FF     C majorC
And we've only begun to fight

We just can't give in, we just can't give up
FF     C majorC        G+G
We must go boldly into the darkness
      C majorC
And be the light
