(intro) Bb F Eb F
Bb
Watched from a distance it’s beautiful
Gm
Somebody’s caught in the undertow
F
Have you ever felt desperation
Eb
Cause the salt water’s filling your lungs
Bb
We’re in regret of where we sleep
Gm
Promises never meant to keep
F
When all that the shadows need
Eb
Is a good man to hide in a dream
Bb
Do they know that the world’s on fire
Bb
Time is a price you can’t afford
Gm
An empty glass and an open door
F
You get what you pay for in sweat
Eb
And a voice says please don’t forget
Bb
Do they know that the world’s on fire
Do they know that the time is now
F
Do they know that you’ve got to stand up stand up
Eb
Use your voice speak out
Bb F
Do they know that it’s time
Bb
Caught in a maze you can’t escape
Gm
The flickering lights and the colored lens
F
The walls that we build just close in
Eb
Until we decide to begin
Bb
Are we distracted by the sun
Gm
The glittering jewels and the beating drums
F
Is it going the distance we fear
Eb
Have you heard that we’re already here
Bb
Do they know that the world’s on fire
Do they know that the time is now
F
Do they know that you’ve got to stand up stand up
Eb
Use your voice speak out
Bb
Do they know that the world’s on fire
Do they know that the time is here
F
Do they know that you’ve got to stand up stand up
Eb
Let your voice be clear
Bb
Do they know that it’s time
Gm7 Eb7+
Some will say we’ve gone to far
Gm7 Eb7+
We’re on the edge, we’re in too deep
Gm7 Eb7+
Some will say we’re too far gone
Gm7 Eb7+
You can’t erase a tragedy
