    Am 
Hey kid 
                 C 
Your story's not dead yet 
                Em 
I know it's all fucked up 
                F 
I know it feels hopeless 
     Am 
Yeah 

    Am 
Hey kid 
                C 
Your heart is a weapon 
                     F 
Against the fools of armageddon 
       Am 
Uh huh 

    Am 
Hey kid 
                     C 
The static's getting thicker 
                     Em 
I hope you can still picture 
                F 
A world without tears 
            Am 
We need you here 
            C 
We need you here 
            Em 
We need that here 
             F 
We need that here 
      Am 
Uh huh 

       Am 
We got soul on command 
        C 
We got sex on demand 
        Em 
We got everything 
                    F 
But nothing's really real 

       Am 
We got hyper confession 
        C 
We got constant compression 
        Em 
We got fatigue and violence 

A war against silence 
  G 
When all we need 
                    F 
Is something we can feel 
                     Am 
Is something we can feel 

Am 
Okay, all right 
          C 
Okay, all right 
                              Em 
Okay, all right, it's not all right 
                              F 
Okay, all right, it's not all right 
               Am 
You'll have to fight 
         C 
The war inside 
            Em 
The endless night 
              F 
That's modern life 
               Am 
That's modern life 
              c 
That's modern life 
              Em 
That's modern life 
              F 
That's modern life 

    Am 
Hey kid 
                 C 
Your story's not dead yet 
                Em 
I know it's all fucked up 
                F 
I know it feels hopeless 
     Am 
Yeah
