🎸 Verse 1:
F
I woke up from an awful dream
Am
In June of two thousand sixteen
A# F C
In a far right fake news fucked up universe
F
And though we sang the Mountain Goats
Am
Loud enough to bruise our throats
A# F C
Every year that followed still got worse and worse
A# F C
And I read the warning signs of these dark and troubled times
A# F C
Now I'm trying to keep my head above the water line
A#
I'm losing sleep on sleeping masses
F C
Counting sheep and greenhouse gases
A#
As doomsday clocks and TikToks
C
Say we're running out of time

🎸 Chorus:
F C
But I think this world's a fixer upper
Dm C A#
Broken in the middle of a salvage yard
C
And I know it will be hard
F C
All we've got now is each other
Dm C A#
And we're overwhelmed and Wondering where to start
C
Yeah I know it will be hard
A#
Maybe I'm delusional
C
But I think it could be beautiful
F C Dm C
If we could only keep from losing heart
A#
Then we might still
C F
Have time to build something better from the parts

🎸 Verse 2:
F
When I was young and still naive
Am
I thought that it was guaranteed
A# F C
That things would change for better, Not for worse
F
But now the place I'm born and grown
Am
Is pillaged like the end of Rome
A# F C
It feels just like we're going ninety in reverse
A#
As misinformation thrives
F C
We are fighting for our lives
A# F C
Just to make sure when the smoke clears there'll be anything left
A#
The road ahead feels bleak and jaded
F C
All my future hopes are faded
A# C
I'm sinking, overthinking, overdrinking and bereft
🎸 Chorus:
F C
But I think this world's a fixer upper

Something better from the parts
🎸 Bridge:
A#
So don't mourn we will organise
F C
Stronger when we unionise
A#
The sorrow shining in your eyes
F C
I'm keeping at bay
A#
Don't mourn we will organise
F C
Stronger when we empathise

Resistance rising like the tides

To wash all the winter away
F C A#
To wash it all away
🎸 Interlude:
F C
🎸 Verse 3:
F
So grab a spade, yeah grab a hammer
Am
Plant some seeds and raise a banner
A# F C
Roll your sleeves and rake the leaves Left by the passing storm
F
Boil the kettle, build a movement
Am
Every day some small improvement
A# F C
Ready ground to lay down all the World yet to be born
A#
Lace your boots and find the shoots
Dm C
Still struggling through the rotted roots
A#
The saplings laid by other folks
Dm C
We will turn into mighty oaks
A#
The battle scars, the broken parts
Dm C
Of dreams who outlasted those hearts
A#
Oh everything you dream is possible It's waiting to be made
C
So my comrade
A# C
Come grab a spade
🎸 Chorus:
F C
Because this world's a fixer upper
Dm C A#
Broken in the middle of a salvage yard
C
And I know it will be hard
F C
I go singing for my supper
Dm C A#
Dragging half the contents of a salvage yard
C
Lord I know it will be hard
A#
Maybe I'm delusional
C
But I think you are beautiful
F C Dm C
If we could just keep from losing heart
A#
We might still
C
Not rest until
A#
If anybody can, we will
C A# F
