[Verse 1]
C/G Em7 Am C/G
History's been leaning on me lately;
C/F# G
I can feel the future breathing down my neck
C Em7
And all the things I thought were true
Am C/G
When I was young, and you were too
C/F#
Turned out to be broken
G
And I don't know what comes next
[Chorus]
Am F
In a world that has decided
C* G
That it's going to lose its mind
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
C Em7 Am C/G C/F# G
[Verse 2]
C Em7 Am C/G
They've started raising walls around the world now
C/F# G
Like hackles raised upon a cornered cat
C Em7
On the borders, in our heads
Am C/G
Between things that can and can't be said
C/F#
We've stopped talking to each other
G
And there's something wrong with that
[Chorus]
Am F
So before you go out searching
C* G
Don't decide what you will find
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
[Break]
C Em
You should know
Am C/F#
you're not alone
C Em
And that trouble comes,
Am C/F#
and trouble goes
C Em
How this ends,
Am C/F#
no one knows
C Em
So hold on tight
Am
when the wind blows
F C* G C
Am F C
[Verse 3]
C Em7 Am C/G
The wind blew both of us to sand and sea
C/F# G
And where the dry land stands is hard to say
C Em7
As the current drags us by the shore
Am C/G
We can no longer say for sure
C/F# G
Who's drowning, or if they can be saved
[Chorus]
Am F
But when you're out there floundering
C* G
Like a lighthouse I will shine
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
Am F
Like a beacon reaching out
C* G
To you and yours from me and mine
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
Am F
In a world that has decided
C G
That it's going to lose its mind
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
