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
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
