🎸 Verse 1:
Bm7Bm7
War, a war, a war on the far side
Cmaj7Cmaj7            Bm7Bm7
On the other side of the planet
       Bm7Bm7
And I've got war, a war, a war right behind my eyes
Cmaj7Cmaj7              Bm7Bm7
Right behind 'em just like a headache

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
   Gmaj7Gmaj7 F#m7F#m7
So I turn on the news

Turn off the news


🎸 Chorus:
B minorBm                  A augmentedA
 Every second, our collective hearts break
                G+G
All together, every single head shakes

Shut your eyes, but it won't go away

Turn on, turn off the news

🎸 Verse 2:
Bm7Bm7
Far
I'm far, so far from the frontline
Cmaj7Cmaj7             Bm7Bm7
Quite the opposite
I'm safe inside
   Bm7Bm7
But I worry and I give money and I feel useless behind this computer
        Cmaj7Cmaj7               Bm7Bm7
And that's just barely scratched the surface of my mind

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
   Gmaj7Gmaj7 F#m7F#m7
So I turn on the news
Gmaj7Gmaj7 F#7F#7
Turn off the news
Gmaj7Gmaj7 F#m7F#m7
Turn on the news
Gmaj7Gmaj7 F#m7F#m7
Turn off the news

Shut your eyes, but it won't go away

🎸 Bridge:
B minorBm
Exploitative, performative

Informative and we don't know the half of it

It's restorable, deplorable

Exorable and, all along, we called it normal
B minorBm
Exploitative, performative

Informative and we don't know the half of it

Restorable, deplorable

Exorable and, all along, we called it normal
N.C.
All along, we called it normal
