[Verse] AmC/BC/G Stop asking musicians what they think C/BAm He said softly as he poured himself a second drink C/BC/GC/B And outside, the world slipped over the brink AmC/BC/G We all thought we had nothing to lose C/B That we could trust in crossed fingers and horseshoes AmC/BC/G That everything would work out, no matter what we choose
[Pre-Chorus] GC/GF The first time it was a tragedy, the second time was a farce GC/GF Outside it's nineteen-thirtythree so I'm hitting the bar
[Chorus] C/GG But I don't know what's going on anymore Am The world outside is burning with a brand new light F But it isn't one that makes me feel warm GCF Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn GCF Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn
[Verse] AmC/B If I was from the greatest generation I'd be pissed C/GC/B Surveying the world slipping back to this AmC/BC/GC/B I'd be screaming at my grand kids: "We already did this" AmC/B Be suspicious of simple answers C/GC/B That shit's for fascists and maybe teenagers AmC/BC/G You can't fix the world if all you have is a hammer
[Pre-Chorus] GC/GF The first time it was a tragedy, the second time was a farce GC/GF Outside it's nineteen-thirtythree so I'm hitting the bar

[Chorus] N.C. G But I don't know what's going on anymore Am The world outside is burning with a brand new light F But it isn't one that makes me feel warm GCF Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn GCF Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn GCF Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn GCF Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn
