[Verse]
EHistory's been G#leaning on me C#mlatelyE  
I can fF#eel the future breathing down my Bneck
And Eall the things I tG#hought were true when C#mI was young, and yEou were too
TurnF#ed out to be broken, and I Bdon't know what comes next
[Chorus]
C#mIn a world that has Adecided that it's Egoing to lose its Bmind
Be more C#mkind, my friends, Atry to be more Ekind
[Pre-verse]
E G# C#m E F# B
[Verse]
They've Estarted raising walG#ls around the wC#morld nowE  
Like F#hackles raised upon a cornered Bcat
OEn the borders G#in our heads between C#mthings that can and Ecan't be said
WF#e stopped talking to each other and there's Bsomething wrong with that
[Chorus]
C#mSo before you go out sAearching, don't Edecide what you'll Bfind
Be more C#mkind, my friends, Atry to be more Ekind
[Bridge]
You should AknG#mow you're not C#maloneF#  
Trouble AcoG#mmes and troublC#me goesF#  
How this AenG#mds no one C#mknowsF#  
So, hold on AtiG#mght when the wind C#mblows
[Break]
A E B C#m A E
[Verse]
The wEind blew both of G#us to sand and C#mseaE  
And wF#here the dry lands stands is hard to Bsay
As the cEurrent drags us bG#y the shore we C#mcan no longer Esay for sure
Who's dF#rowning, or if they can be saveBd
[Chorus]
But C#mwhen you're out there Afloundering, like a Elighthouse I will Bshine
Be more C#mkind, my friends, Atry to be more Ekind
Like a C#mbeacon reaching oAut to you and Eyours, for me and Bmine
Be more C#mkind, my friends, Atry to be more Ekind
In a C#mworld that has deAcided that it's Egoing to lose its Bmind
Be more C#mkind, my friends, Atry to be more Ekind

The whole song is an alternating picking pattern between the bass note of each chord and the high 3

[Intro]

[Verse]

E G# C#m E

History's been leaning on me lately

F# B

I can feel the future breathing down my neck

E G# C#m E

And all the things I thought were true when I was young, and you were too

F# B

Turned out to be broken, and I don't know what comes next

[Chorus]

C#m A E B

In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind

C#m A E

Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind

[Pre-verse]

E G# C#m E F# B

[Verse]

E G# C#m E

They've started raising walls around the world now

F# B

Like hackles raised upon a cornered cat

E G# C#m E

On the borders in our heads between things that can and can't be said

F# B

We stopped talking to each other and there's something wrong with that

[Chorus]

C#m A E B

So before you go out searching, don't decide what you'll find

C#m A E

Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind

[Bridge]

A G#m C#m F#

You should know you're not alone

A G#m C#m F#

Trouble comes and trouble goes

A G#m C#m F#

How this ends no one knows

A G#m C#m

So, hold on tight when the wind blows

[Break]

A E B C#m A E

[Verse]

E G# C#m E

The wind blew both of us to sand and sea

F# B

And where the dry lands stands is hard to say

E G# C#m E

As the current drags us by the shore we can no longer say for sure

F# B

Who's drowning, or if they can be saved

[Chorus]

C#m A E B

But when you're out there floundering, like a lighthouse I will shine

C#m A E

Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind

C#m A E B

Like a beacon reaching out to you and yours, for me and mine

C#m A E

Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind

C#m A E B

In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind

C#m A E

Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
