Chords with lyrics

[Intro]
*Finger picking*
FF           A minorAm    FF           A minorAm
I’ll sink slowly into cement, running round the city square
FF             A minorAm     FF                  A minorAm
I’ve always felt a little different, now I can breath in the anger on the dirty air
FF                    A minorAm
grubby beauty blocked out by streets and time
FF               A minorAm       FF      DmDm    A minorAm
painted their slogans on the silhouette of my skyline

[Chorus]
         E7E7  DmDm  G+G
It is not enough
                  DmDm    A minorAm
to be quiet on the train back home
            DmDm     A minorAm
A augmentedA change is gonna come,

our country’s mind can’t stay this closed

[Verse 1]
*Finger Picking*
FF            A minorAm     FF
Enter the decade fearing failing and our heart starts beating in time
FF                    A minorAm    FF          A minorAm
with the white noise and the ranting and raving, their official party line
FF             A minorAm   FF                       A minorAm
we must respond we need a fight, decide how the destitute will survive and then die


[Chorus]
         E7E7  DmDm  G+G
It is not enough
                  DmDm    A minorAm
to be quiet on the train back home
            DmDm     A minorAm
A augmentedA change is gonna come,

our country’s mind can’t stay this closed

[Verse 2]
DmDm                          A minorAm
So wipe that shit-eating grin off your punch-able face
DmDm                              A minorAm
these people are human beings that you’ll destroy and displace
DmDm
when you sit in Kirribilli House and there’s no one else around do you know just to keep your job
A minorAm
you’re putting bodies in the ground
DmDm                       A minorAm
drowning refugees at sea, kiss babies screaming vote for me
DmDm                 A minorAm
I’ll take you to the future via the 1950s

E7E7 DmDm A minorAm

DmDm                            A minorAm
Were we supposed to feel hope when you said you’d stop the boats?
DmDm                  A minorAm              DmDm
cause that’s some fucking evil shit, politicizing killing kids, drip feeding fear into our brains,
A minorAm
new leader clearly insane
DmDm           A minorAm
gonna change the culture in our cultured minds
DmDm                A minorAm
start a war with an alibi we can justify


[Chorus]
         E7E7  DmDm  G+G
It is not enough
                  DmDm    A minorAm
to be quiet on the train back home
            DmDm     A minorAm
A augmentedA change is gonna come,

our country’s mind can’t stay this closed


[Outro]
         E7E7  DmDm  G+G
It is not enough
                  DmDm    A minorAm
to be quiet on the train back home
            DmDm     A minorAm
A augmentedA change is gonna come,
       A minorAm  A minorAm  A minorAm  A minorAm  A minorAm
