[Verse]
A power lAmine to convCey a certain bGrilliance
A telepAmhone line to Ccarry a Gvoice
A metro Amline to bCring us Gall downtAmown
LCines of connection, cAmommunication
Not the Cborders or boundaries
That Amslice and dice a nation
DiCvided by the chalk lines
Of dAmisreputable history
Past fCailures all laid out
As we sAmhrug with absent mystery
Those Cbodies left behind us
While we Amamble on ahead
CFearful of the wrong things
From nAmewspapers unread
BeGfore I tell you wChat to do
Or yAmou try to tell Cme
Let's all see what's been done
And wAmhere we could have been
By knGowing what's before us
The pAmath might clear ahead
And foCcus on new obstacles
UncAmharted by the dead
A poAmwer line from a gCurgling tGurbine
A telAmephone line from a Cquiet roomG  
A meAmtro line from acCross the city
MaAmybe we'll all raiCse our glasses sAmoon
[Interlude]
Am C G
Am C G Am
[Verse]
They sCay across the fence line
The gAmrass is always verdurous
But wCe're not corralling cattle
Fearing Amwranglers foul or murderous
When we lCook out past dividers
We're Amunsurprised to see
More foClks erecting fences
BecAmoming detainees
BeGfore I worry abCout you
Or yAmou worry about mCe
Let's all dwell on ourselves
We're the pAmrivate enemy
BecGoming who we're meCant to
VirtuAmous and creative
We wonC't dread the different
The strAmange or unrelated
A powAmer line to coCnvey a certain briGlliance
A telAmephone line to cCarry a voGice
A meAmtro line to brCing us all hGome
To bAmring us hComeG

[Verse]

Am C G

A power line to convey a certain brilliance

Am C G

A telephone line to carry a voice

Am C G Am

A metro line to bring us all downtown

C Am

Lines of connection, communication

Not the borders or boundaries

That slice and dice a nation

Divided by the chalk lines

Of disreputable history

Past failures all laid out

As we shrug with absent mystery

Those bodies left behind us

While we amble on ahead

Fearful of the wrong things

From newspapers unread

G C

Before I tell you what to do

Am C

Or you try to tell me

Let's all see what's been done

And where we could have been

By knowing what's before us

The path might clear ahead

And focus on new obstacles

Uncharted by the dead

Am C G

A power line from a gurgling turbine

Am C G

A telephone line from a quiet room

Am C

A metro line from across the city

Am C Am

Maybe we'll all raise our glasses soon

[Interlude]

Am C G

Am C G Am

[Verse]

They say across the fence line

The grass is always verdurous

But we're not corralling cattle

Fearing wranglers foul or murderous

When we look out past dividers

We're unsurprised to see

More folks erecting fences

Becoming detainees

G C

Before I worry about you

Am C

Or you worry about me

Let's all dwell on ourselves

We're the private enemy

G C

Becoming who we're meant to

Virtuous and creative

We won't dread the different

The strange or unrelated

Am C G

A power line to convey a certain brilliance

Am C G

A telephone line to carry a voice

Am C G

A metro line to bring us all home

Am C G

To bring us home

Am C G
