[Chorus]
So Dwhy should I believe that everything will Bmbe alright?
That everything will Gbe alright
If only we were Dfree to Abreathe
And Dwhy should I believe that everything will Bmbe alright?
That everything will Gbe alright
Imagine how Dgood we could Abe
[Verse 1]
DWe like to drink with our feet on the fire
BmWe like to argue the meaning of life
GLike brothers, we know how to fight
DIt's on our shoulders to Aset the world right
GWhat's the difference if we disagree?
DIs heaven above? Is Ahell underneath?
GDoesn't change the news on the streets
DDoesn't bring us Acloser to peace
[Chorus]
So Dwhy should I believe that everything will Bmbe alright?
That everything will Gbe alright
If only we were Dfree to Abreathe
And Dwhy should I believe that everything will Bmbe alright?
That everything will Gbe alright
Imagine how Dgood we could Abe
[Interlude]
D Bm G D A
[Verse 2]
DWhat kinda father leaves his kids in the rain?
BmWhat kinda God would not explain?
GIf this life is all that we get
DWe better hope something Agood comes next
DThe world is changing
DCan you feel the tension?
BmIf you're not angry, you must not be listening
GThe world is changing
GCan you feel the tension?
DIf you're not angry, you must not be listening
