D G
Is this the New Year, or just another night?
D G
Is this the new fear, or just another fright?
G Bm A D
Is this the new tear, or just another desperation?
D G
Is this the finger, or just another fist?
D G
Is this the kingdom, or just a hit-and-miss?
G Bm A Bm
A misdirection, most of all this desperation.
D
Is this what they call freedom?
A
Is this what you call pain?
Bm G
Is this what they call discontented fame?
D A
It'll be a day like this one,
A Bm
When the world caves in, when the world caves in,
G D
when the world caves in
D G
I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
D G
For broken arms and broken noses in the back
G Bm A Bm G
Is this the New Year, or just another desperation?
D A
You push until you're shoving
A
You bend until you break,
Bm G
Do you stand on the broken field where your fathers lay?
D A
It'll be a day like this one,
A Bm
When the world caves in, when the world caves in,
G D
when the world caves in
A Bm G
When the world caves in,
G D A
when the world caves in,
A A Bm G
when the world caves in
D A
There's nothing here worth saving,
A
There's no one here at all
Bm G
Is there any net left that could break our fall?
D A
It'll be a day like this one
A Bm
When the sky falls down,
Bm G D
when the hungry and poor and deserted are found.
D A
Are you discontented?
A Bm
Have you been pushing hard?
Bm G
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards?
D A
It'll be a day like this one,
A Bm
When the world caves in, when the world caves in,
G D G D G
when the world caves in
D G
Is there nothing left now? Nothing left to sing?
D G
Are there any left who haven't kissed the enemy?
G Bm A Bm G
Is this the New Year, or just another desperation? Yeah, yeah
D A
Does justice ever find you?
A
Do the wicked never lose?
Bm G
Is there any other song to sing besides these blues?
D A
And nothing is OK,
A Bm
Till the world caves in, till the world caves in,
G D
till the world caves in, till the world caves in.
A Bm
Till the world caves in, till the world caves in,
G D
till the world caves in, till the world caves in.
A Bm
Till the world caves in, till the world caves in,
G D
till the world caves in,
