Be More Kind Acoustic chords by Frank Turner

C              G             Am     C/G
History's been leaning on me lately;
D7/F#                                   G
I can feel the future breathing down my neck
C                    G
And all the things I thought were true
     Am               C/G
When I was young, and you were too
D7/F#
Turned out to be broken
G
And I don't know what comes next

Am                  F
In a world that has decided
          C/G                 G
That it's going to lose its mind
        Am                F              C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind

C                       G                Am       C/G
They've started raising walls around the world now
D7/F#                               G
Like hackles raised upon a cornered cat
C               G
On the borders, in our heads
        Am                  C/G
Between things that can and can't be said
              D7/F#
We've stopped talking to each other
            C/G
And there's something wrong with that

Am                   F
So before you go out searching
      C/G                  G
Don't decide what you will find
        Am                F              C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind

           F   Em*         Am          D7/F#
You should know you're not alone
                 F    Em*           Am       D7/F#
And that trouble comes, and trouble goes
         F    Em*     Am         D7/F#
How this ends, no one knows
           F    Em*            Am
So hold on tight when the wind blows

Instrumental Break:
F C G Am F C/G

    C                 G              Am   C/G
The wind blew both of us to sand and sea
    D7/F#                                     G
And where the dry land stands is hard to say
       C                G
As the current drags us by the shore
   Am            C/G
We can no longer say for sure
      D7/F#                       G
Who's drowning, or if they can be saved

    Am                    F
But when you're out there floundering
       C/G               G
Like a lighthouse I will shine
        Am                F              C/G
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind

       Am              F
Like a beacon reaching out
           C/G               G
To you and yours from me and mine
        Am                F              C/G
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind

     Am             F
In a world that has decided
          C/G               G
That it's going to lose its mind
        Am                F              C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
