The Worlds On Fire

	  		
verse 1 
C                  F                 C 
She looked out the window and said, "The world's on fire" 
C                         F                     G 
That's when I laughed and poured her a glass of wine 
F                     C 
We just stared at the TV 
F                   C 
tryin' to find some meanin' 
F                C                 G 
Hopin' that we'd wake up from this dream 
         C 
Sometime tomorrow 

verse 2 
C                       F           C 
Well the night came and went, not a damn thing changed 
C                   F                  G 
That's when I saw a tear fall from her eyes 
F                            C 
She said, "What are we gonna do? 
F                        C 
What's this world comin' to?" 
F            C                 G 
For the first time in my whole life 
              C 
I stood there speechless 

    G       F                     C 
The load is heavy and the road is long 
    Em         F         C 
And we've only begun to fight 
F                  C   F                  C 
We just can't give in, we just can't give up 
F          C               G 
We must go boldly into the darkness 
           C 
And be the light
 

verse 3 
C                 F                        C 
So I packed up my car and went lookin' for answers 
C                F              G 
To the questions weighin' on my mind 
F                        C    F                      C 
When did The Land of the Free become The Home of the Afraid? 
F             C                    G 
Afraid of the world, afraid of the truth 
               C 
Afraid of each other 

verse 4 
C                  F                             C 
And this ain't the country my grandfather fought for 
C                 F                G 
But I still see the hate he fought against 
F                C      F                 C 
Give rest to the tired, give mercy to the poor 
F             C            G 
Give warmth to the huddled masses 
                  C 
And I'll show you freedom 

    G       F                     C 
The load is heavy and the road is long 
    Em         F         C 
And we've only begun to fight 
F                  C   F                  C 
We just can't give in, we just can't give up 
F          C               G 
We must go boldly into the darkness 
           C 
And be the light
 

Verse 5 
C                 F             C 
I got a baby girl comin' in the spring 
C                     F                  G 
I'm worried 'bout the world she's comin' into 
F                  C      F                      C 
But she'll have my fight, she'll have her mama's fire 
F                C             G 
If anyone builds a wall in her journey 
                 C 
Baby, bust right through 

    G       F                     C 
The load is heavy and the road is long 
    Em         F         C 
And we've only begun to fight 
F                  C   F                  C 
We just can't give in, we just can't give up 
F          C               G 
We must go boldly into the darkness 
           C 
And be the light 

     G       F                     C 
The load is heavy and the road is long 
    Em         F         C 
And we've only begun to fight 
F                  C   F                  C 
We just can't give in, we just can't give up 
F          C               G 
We must go boldly into the darkness 
           C 
And be the light
