The Future Is Slow Coming

A Bm A D

[Verse]
A                   Bm
 At the top of the hour
A              Bm
 Today in the news
A                  Bm
 A little girl is shot down
A                  Bm
 While tying her shoes

A D Bm A

[Chorus]
N.C.       A A/B A/C# D            Bm
Honestly, how can I be proud right now?
A                                       D
 To tell you the truth, I ain't been sleeping too well

[Verse]
A              Bm
 Although our parents
A             Bm
 Fought to be equal
A                   Bm
 The State decides true love
A               Bm
 If they only knew it

A D Bm A

[Verse]
[Chorus]
N.C.       A A/B A/C# D            Bm
Honestly, how can I be proud right now?
A                                       D
 To tell you the truth, I ain't been sleeping too well

[Verse]
A               Bm
 Today he gets five stars
A                 Bm
 For learning to read
A                   Bm
 Too bad he’s not from here
A                    Bm
 He better learn to weed

[Bridge]
               A                     D
Even though computers are taking up my time;
E                  A                        D
Even though there’s satellites roaming in space;
E             A                        D
Even though my phone predicts the weather;
     E               A  D
We still can’t help you
E               A                    D
Even though computers are taking up my time;
E                  A                        D
Even though there’s satellites roaming in space;
E             A                        D
Even though my phone predicts the weather;
     E               A  D E
We still can’t help you

[Outro]
                D   E            A
The future is slow coming, honey
                D     E         A
The future is slow, slow coming
                D   E         A
The future is slow coming up
                D     E         A
The future is slow, slow coming
