F C G Am
F C E Am
verse 1
Am
I've got the 21st century survival blues
G
A condition brought on by watching the news
Dm
Things have been quiet for far too long
EAnd if I know human beings, things are gonna go wrong
Am
We were raised in a glade of unsustainable peace
G
Not many of us ever have to live on our knees
Dm
I'm scared that I won't have the strength that it takes
E
To stand up when the levee breaks
F G
So meet me at home when the sirens go off
E Am
I don't wanna be alone so don't you get lost
F G
I know a place where the two of us can hide
E Am
We can barricade the door and we'd be safe inside
F G
When the harsh winds blow and the world gets cold
E Am
You can't trust kindness and you can't eat gold
F G
I've got the 21st century survival blues
E
But to tell you the truth I just need you
verse 2
Am
I've got the 21st century survival blues
G
A generation raised up without paying its dues
Dm
Comfortable enough to play around with that
E
Without knowing how to survive when the lights go out
Am
And if we take away the things that they've been depending on
G
We'll be failing like children in a nursery home
Dm
So I started making lists of the essential things
E
For when the storms bring what they bring
F G
So meet me at home when the sirens go off
E Am
I don't wanna be alone so don't you get lost
F G
I know a place where the two of us can hide
E Am
We can barricade the door and we'd be safe inside
F G
When the harsh winds blow and the world gets cold
E Am
You can't trust kindness and you can't eat gold
F G
I've got the 21st century survival blues
E
But to tell you the truth
F C G Am F C E Am
I just need you-you
F C G Am F C E Am
I just need you-you
verse 3
F
I've got the 21st century survival blues
F#
I've got shelter, drinking water I've got cupboards of food
F
And I know I can survive in my apocalypse home
F# G
But what's the point of surviving if you're just surviving alone
F G
So meet me at home when the sirens go off
E Am
I don't wanna be alone so don't you get lost
F G
I know a place where the two of us can hide
E Am
We can barricade the door and we'd be safe inside
F G
When the harsh winds blow and the world gets cold
E Am
You can't trust kindness and you can't eat gold
F G
I've got the 21st century survival blues
E
But to tell you the truth, let me tell you the truth
F C G Am F C E Am
I just need you-you
F C G Am F C E Am
I just need you-you
