Verse 1:
E     B    A    E
Yeah, the room is closing in
  B   A    E
The air is getting thicker
   B    A   E   B A
It's hard for me to breathe
E   B     A   E
All the writing's on the wall
  B  A    E
Yet we refuse to read it
   B   A   E
Heads buried in the sand

Chorus:
   Emaj7        Emaj7
We've come down a road to places uncharted
  E7          E7
It's our little world, it's time to get started
A           A
Short-sighted men with eyes on their pockets
  Am         Am           B
The next generation is watching the clock wind down


Post-Chorus:
F#7sus4 B/Eb Bsus2   B  F#7sus4 B/Eb B7
Down,  down, all coming down


Verse 2:
E    B    A   E
As the slaughterhouses hum
   B    A      E
Stockholders count their profits
   B    A    E B A
While blocking out the sun
E    B   A     E
All the oceans brown with foam
  B   A   E
The polar ice is melting
   B    A    E
Watch forests as they fall


Chorus:
Emaj7        Emaj7
There's no one else coming to save us
E7          E7
Why are the children always the bravest?
 A            A
Stealing their dreams one day at a time
 Am        Am
A future betrayal denying the science


Post-Chorus:
B  F#7sus4 B/Eb Bsus2   B  F#7sus4 B/Eb B7
Ooh, ooh,   ooh, all coming down

Verse 3:
E   B    A      E
Every street is choked with cars
   B   A    E
Poor Mother Earth is ravaged
  B  A    E
And disappearing stars


Chorus:
Emaj7         Emaj7
Left to ourselves and our own devices
E7         E7
Who can we trust to make the right choices?
  A          A
Maintain status quo, the House and the Senate
Am        Am
We leave behind a dead, dying planet


Post-Chorus:
B  F#7sus4 B/Eb Bsus2   B  F#7sus4 B/Eb
Ooh, ooh,   ooh, all coming down
Bsus2   B  F#7sus4 B/Eb
All coming down

All coming down
Bsus2   B  F#7sus4 B/Eb
All coming down
