Verse 
Am                                         G7 
I can hear the engine screaming, but it is way down the road 
Am                                          G7           F 
I’m not gonna sit here and wait for someone to guide me home 
F 
The lights burned out 
F 
It is dark out here 
F 
Something is going on 
           G7              Am 
but in the end I know I’m not alone 
                          G7            F 
there are millions of us, down in this rabbit hole 
               G7           Am 
millions of us, losing our self-control 
               G7            F 
millions of us, with nowhere else to go 

Pre-Chorus 
                C 
So Keep moving forward now 
        Am           G7                   F             C       G7 
Let the people going backwards find their own way out 
             C 
Keep looking up my friends 
         Am            G7            F          C       G7 
Let the people looking down on you never forget 

 
             C 
We see your bullshit, all of it 
Am            G7            F            C         G7 
I hope you’re ready for the power shift 
             C 
We see your bullshit, all of it 
Am            G7            F            C         G7 
I hope you’re ready for the power shift 

Verse 
Am                                        G7 
i can feel the tables turning, and if you open your eyes 
Am                                          G7          F 
you will see your castle burning, oh what a pleasant suprise 
F 
how does it feel 
           G7     F 
to be the one in need 
                                 G7             Am 
reaching out your arms when you realise you are on your own 
                        G7           F 
with the millions of us, you buried in this hole 
                   G7           Am 
the millions of us, losing our self control 
                   G7           F 
the millions of us, with nowhere else to go 

Pre-Chorus 
              C

And Let the people going backwards find their own way out 
             C 
Keep looking up my friends 
        Am             G7             F         C         G7 
Let the people looking down on you never forget

We see your bullshit, all of it 
Am            G7            F           C        G7 
I hope you’re ready for the power shift 
              C 
We see your bullshit, all of it

I hope you’re ready for the power shift
