Em - G


[Verse]
Em
Phone calls from a foreign country
G
Rich kids asking for money
Em
Newsflash that the summer's ending
G                                C/G
Are they looking out for you and me?
Em
Fallout in the plastic ocean
G
While you're putting on your tannin' lotion
Em
Holiday while the beach is burnin'
G                                 C/G
Are they looking out for you and me?
Em                                G
Are they looking out for you and me?


[Chorus]
C
Days ahead
D
Hangin' round for better things
C
Wake the dead
D
Any kind of song you sing
C                  D                                Em
Before you go here's all those things you always wanted


[Verse]
Em
Sit alone in an empty theater
G
Now you see it all much clearer
Em
A sad film with a happy ending
G                               C/G
Are they looking out for you and me?
Em
Silent prayers and words of guidance
G
Finding peace in a local riot
Em
Stay at home, have it all delivered
G                                C/G
Are they looking out for you and me?
Em                                G
Are they looking out for you and me?


[Chorus]
C
Days ahead
D
Hangin' round for better things
C
Wake the dead
D
Any kind of song you sing
C
Here we go now
D
From the past into the future

Palm mute for 2 bars


[Bridge]
C
Every night when the sun goes down
D
Hear that high and lonesome sound
C
Raise a glass for the poor and broken
D
Lonely faces still enduring


[Chorus]
C
Days ahead
D
Hangin' round for better things
C
Wake the dead
D
Any kinda song you sing
C
Days ahead
D
Hanging on for better things
Am                    D                              C
Before you go here's all those things you always wanted
Am          D
Before you go
