[Intro]
F Dm Bb F C
F Dm Bb C
[Verse 1]
F Dm
We're building walls on a shaking foundation
Bb C
But we're too busy to notice
F Dm
And when we're done we will leave pretty houses
Bb C
For a world where no-one can live
Bb C
With happiness always just out of reach
Dm C
We follow the trails that run into the ground
Bb C
To become kings of ashes we will
Dm C F
Burn the whole world down
[Chrous]
Dm Bb
But once we could drink from the well
F Dm Bb F C
You and I
[Verse 2]
F Dm Bb C
F Dm
We've sprayed out fields till the weeds grew resistant
Bb C
Pulled dragnets through ev'ry ocean
F Dm
Replaced our forests with deserts and landfills
Bb C
To ensure a steady growth
Bb C
We've poisoned the waters and ruined the crops
Dm C
So what do we say when our kids turn to us
Bb C
And ask us to justify all this mess
Dm C F
'Cos they will reap what we sow
[Chrous]
Dm Bb
Once we could drink from the well
F
You and I
Dm Bb
Once we could drink from the well
Bb
[Bridge]
Gm Bb F A
The sky will open up and flush out your filth to settle the score
Gm Bb F
Soon our bloated remains, stuffed with plastic bits
A Bb Bb
Will wash upon the shore and form a new foundation
Dm C Dm
In all colours and shapes for future generations
A F
To build their shaky lives and be reminded of us
[Chorus]
N.C. Bb
Once we could drink from the well
F
You and I
Dm Bb
Once we could drink from the well
F Dm Bb C
You and I
F Dm Bb F C F
You and I
