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