C     G     F             G          C      G 
Jesus,       the world is falling to pieces 
         F                    G            C        
Will you come back and be our hero and release us? 
G      F                     G 
And if so, will you get your own show? 
F            C                 F 
And we'll be saved and well behaved 
              G 
And you'll be famous 

C      G       F        G 
Here's to the future that was 
C     G        F           G 
Everything you thought it'd be but 
C       G     F      G 
Was it anything you thought of? 
C      G      F        G 
Here's to the future that was 

C     G     F     G 
C     G     F     G 

(Same as verse 1) 
Thomas, a new century's upon us 
You were enlightened but you weren't very honest 
I know, was a long time ago 
And things change and people change 
And both have changed us 

(Same as Chorus 1) 
Here's to the future that was 
Everything you thought it'd be but 
Was it anything you thought of? 
Here's to the future that was 

(Same as verse 1) 
Samuel, your son is quite a handful 
His grades are bad, he can't do math 
And he tends to ramble 
Our tests show that he's a bit slow 
If he receives the help he needs 
He'll ride the same bus 

(Same as Chorus 1) 
Here's to the future that was 
Everything you thought it'd be but 
Was it anything you thought of? 
Here's to the future that was fine 

That's about it, a really nice simple song by an all-too-unknown artist. Hope you enjoy!
