C     G     F             G          C      G
Jesus,       the world is falling to pieces
         F                    G            C       
Will you come back and be our hero and release us?
G      F                     G
And if so, will you get your own show?
F            C                 F
And we'll be saved and well behaved
              G
And you'll be famous

C      G       F        G
Here's to the future that was
C     G        F           G
Everything you thought it'd be but
C       G     F      G
Was it anything you thought of?
C      G      F        G
Here's to the future that was

C     G     F     G
C     G     F     G

(Same as Verse 1)
Thomas, a new century's upon us
You were enlightened but you weren't very honest
I know, was a long time ago
And things change and people change
And both have changed us

(Same as Chorus 1)
Here's to the future that was
Everything you thought it'd be but
Was it anything you thought of?
Here's to the future that was

(Same as Verse 1)
Samuel, your son is quite a handful
His grades are bad, he can't do math
And he tends to ramble
Our tests show that he's a bit slow
If he receives the help he needs
He'll ride the same bus

(Same as Chorus 1)
Here's to the future that was
Everything you thought it'd be but
Was it anything you thought of?
Here's to the future that was fine
