D                           G
Is this the New Year or just another night?
D                       G
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
Em                      G                  D    G
Is this the new tear or just another desperation?

Bm                      G
Is this the finger or just another fist?
Bm                      G
 Is this the kingdom or just a hit n' miss?
Em              G                       Bm    G
A misdirection, most in all this desperation

D                       A
Is this what they call freedom?
                        Bm
Is this what you call pain?
                        G               D
Is this what they call discontented fame?

                     A
It'll be a day like this one
                      Bm
When the world caves in
                      G
When the world caves in
                      D  G
When the world caves in

Bm                           G
I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
Bm                           G
From broken arms an' broken noses in the back
Em                       G                 Bm     G
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?

D                           A
You're pushing till you're shoving
                        Bm
You bend until you break
                                G                       D
Till you stand on the broken fields where our fathers lay

                   A
It'll be a day like this one
                        Bm
When the world caves in
                        G
When the world caves in
                        D G
When the world caves in
                        D G
When the world caves in
                        D G
When the world caves in
                        Em F#m A
When the world caves in

D                           A
There's nothing here worth saving,
                    Bm
Is no one here at all?
                  G                             D
Is there any net left that could break our fall?

                     A
It'll be a day like this one
                     Bm                     G                          D
When the sky falls down and the hungry and poor and deserted are found
                A                               Bm
Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard?
                           G                              D
Have you been through and down this broken house of cards?

                     A
It'll be a day like this one
                        Bm
When the world caves in
                        G
When the world caves in
                        D G D G
When the world caves in

Bm
Is there nothing left now?
G
Nothing left to sing
Bm                              G
Are there any left who haven't kissed the enemy?
Em                      G                  Bm       D
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?

                A                               Bm
Just as I could find you, do the wicked never lose?
                   G                            D
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues?
                A
And nothing is okay
                        Bm
Till the world caves in
                        G
Till the world caves in
                        D
Till the world caves in
                        A
Till the world caves in
                        Bm
Till the world caves in
                        G
Until the world caves in
                        D
Until the world caves in
                        A
Until the world caves in
                        Bm
Until the world caves in
                        G
Until the world caves in
                        D
Until the world caves in
