Verse:
E MajorE       G#G#      C# minorC#m    E MajorE
History's been leaning on me lately
    F#F#                BB
I can feel the future breathing down my neck
  E MajorE         G#G#          C# minorC#m        E MajorE
And all the things I thought were true when I was young, and you were too
    F#F#         BB
Turned out to be broken, I don't know what comes next

Chorus:
C# minorC#m         A augmentedA         E MajorE         BB
In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind
    C# minorC#m        A augmentedA       E MajorE
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind

Verse:
E MajorE         G#G#       C# minorC#m      E MajorE
It seems like everybody's raising walls now
   F#F#               BB
Like hackles raised upon a cornered cat
 E MajorE       G#G#          C# minorC#m         E MajorE
On the borders in our heads between things that can and can't be said
 F#F#                     BB
We stopped talking to each other and there's something wrong with that

Chorus:
C# minorC#m          A augmentedA        E MajorE         BB
So before you go out searching, don't decide what you'll find
    C# minorC#m        A augmentedA       E MajorE
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind

Bridge:
      A augmentedA G# minorG#m     C# minorC#m     F#F#
You should know you're not alone
    A augmentedA G# minorG#m      C# minorC#m     F#F#
Trouble comes and trouble goes
     A augmentedA G# minorG#m   C# minorC#m    F#F#
How this ends no one knows
      A augmentedA G# minorG#m       C# minorC#m
So, hold on tight when the wind blows

Break:
A augmentedA E MajorE BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA E MajorE

Verse:
   E MajorE        G#G#       C# minorC#m      E MajorE
The wind blew both of us to sand and sea
   F#F#                  BB
And where the dry lands stands is hard to say
    E MajorE        G#G#       C# minorC#m      E MajorE
As the current drags us by the shore we can no longer say for sure
    F#F#               BB
Who's drowning, or if they can be saved

Chorus:
  C# minorC#m          A augmentedA          E MajorE         BB
But when you're out there floundering, like a lighthouse I will shine
    C# minorC#m        A augmentedA       E MajorE
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
   C# minorC#m        A augmentedA       E MajorE         BB
Like a beacon reaching out to you and yours, for me and mine
    C# minorC#m        A augmentedA       E MajorE
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
  C# minorC#m        A augmentedA        E MajorE         BB
In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind
    C# minorC#m        A augmentedA       E MajorE
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
