[Verse 1]
Am G D F
Once again we behold the future behind the cloud
C G
It scares you
D E
Grown as a beauty, stained with tainted paint
Am G D F
Once born is the last of us and the skies are fallen
C G
Lead me
D E Am
Into the brightest light, never-ending dawn
G D F
We'll build us a wonder, gone through the maze in days
C G
In hindsight
D E F
Cloudy ahead, the skies always clear behind
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am C D Em
We shall not scare the children
F G Am D F G
Cast our hope, beat us atop their joy of life
 
[Chorus]
C G
Every generation's every book
Am F
Every place is getting drawn on, hurt
C G Am F
But we can save this world if we move time slower
C G
Every open window, we are giving to a child
Am F C
That's how we buy ourselves out of time
G Am F
We'll learn, all the world will burn
 
[Verse 2]
Am G D F
All the future is built on maybe, albeit the whitest of lies
C G
White lies
D E
They have the value, serving the purpose
Am G D F
When we guide our children, the future's blinding light
C G
You can't leave, no
D E F
They hope one day you'll live in a lighthouse
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am C D Em
We shall not scare the children
F G Am D F G
Cast our hope, beat us atop their joy of life
 
[Chorus]
C G
Every generation's every book
Am F
Every place is getting drawn on, hurt
C G Am F
But we can save this world if we move time slower
C G
Every open window, we are giving to a child
Am F C
That's how we buy ourselves out of time
G Am F
We'll learn, all the world will burn
 
[Bridge]
G Em A
We bring rocks into the dark
D G
In hopes they hit a mark
Em A D
One day you'll know this blindness
G Em A
The views and fears of the unknown
D G
We hide what we don't know
Em F# G A Bm
But we should not tell you, there's a party in the black hole
 
Bm
Yet we
Bm
don't know
 
[Guitar Solo]
 
[Chorus]
C G
Every generation's every book
Am F
Every place is getting drawn on, hurt
C G Am F
But we can save this world if we move time slower
C G
Every open window, we are giving to a child
Am F C
That's how we buy ourselves out of time
G Am F
We'll learn, all the world will burn
 
[Outro]
D A
Every generation has a premise
Bm G
In the circle getting drawn on, hurt
D A Bm G
Yet we can save this world if we moved on slower
D A Bm
Can't let all the serious pull, maybe we should solve the problems
G D
Now we're the first in line
A Bm G D
This world like a plot, we'll let unwind
