[Verse]
B5
From the day that we were born we've been heading down a track
D         A                  B5
Sometimes it's made for good sometimes for bad
G              A         B5
But if we look behind us there's a wave coming down
G             A           B5
Carrying us forward to a new age

[Chorus]
Bm             A     D         Em
What about the world around us
Bm         A       D    Em
How can we fail to see
A                Em7 
And now that our fathers have gone
A              Em7
And we've been left to carry on
Bm             A       Bm
What about the age of reason

[Verse]
B5
So why can't we be still why can't we love each other
D          A                 B5
Is kindness an ancient skill buried by our blindness
G              A         B5
And if we look behind us there's a wind blowing in
G             A       B5
To create the age of reason

[Chorus]
Bm             A     D         Em
What about the world around us
Bm         A       D    Em
How can we fail to see
A                Em7 
And now that our fathers have gone
A              Em7
And we've been left to carry on
Bm             A       Bm
What about the age of reason

[Verse]
B5
If we consider carefully the options put before us
D          A                B5
So much wisdom so much love so much waiting for us
G              A      B5
And if we look ahead there's the sun and the seasons
G           A              B5
Another day another age of reason

[Chorus/Outro]
Bm             A     D         Em
What about the world around us
Bm         A       D    Em
How can we fail to see
A                Em7 
And now that our fathers have gone
A              Em7
And we've been left to carry on
Bm             A       Bm
What about the age of reason
Bm             A     D         Em
What about the world around us
Bm         A       D    Em
How can we fail to see
A                Em7 
And now that our fathers have gone
A              Em7
And we've been left to carry on
Bm             A      
What about the age
Bm             A     D         Em
What about the world around us
Bm         A       D    Em
How can we fail to see
A                Em7 
And now that our fathers have gone
A              Em7
And we've been left to carry on
