American Aquarium - The Worlds On Fire Chords

[Verse 1]
C                  F                 C
She looked out the window and said, "The world's on fire"
C                         F                     G
That's when I laughed and poured her a glass of wine
F                     C
We just stared at the TV
F                   C
tryin' to find some meanin'
F                C                 G
Hopin' that we'd wake up from this dream
         C
Sometime tomorrow


[Verse 2]
C                       F           C
Well the night came and went, not a damn thing changed
C                   F                  G
That's when I saw a tear fall from her eyes
F                            C
She said, "What are we gonna do?
F                        C
What's this world comin' to?"
F            C                 G
For the first time in my whole life
              C
I stood there speechless


[Chorus]
    G       F                     C
The load is heavy and the road is long
    Em         F         C
And we've only begun to fight
F                  C   F                  C
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
F          C               G
We must go boldly into the darkness
           C
And be the light


[Verse 3]
C                 F                        C
So I packed up my car and went lookin' for answers
C                F              G
To the questions weighin' on my mind
F                        C    F                      C
When did The Land of the Free become The Home of the Afraid?
F             C                    G
Afraid of the world, afraid of the truth
               C
Afraid of each other


[Verse 4]
C                  F                             C
And this ain't the country my grandfather fought for
C                 F                G
But I still see the hate he fought against
F                C      F                 C
Give rest to the tired, give mercy to the poor
F             C            G
Give warmth to the huddled masses
                  C
And I'll show you freedom


[Chorus]
    G       F                     C
The load is heavy and the road is long
    Em         F         C
And we've only begun to fight
F                  C   F                  C
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
F          C               G
We must go boldly into the darkness
           C
And be the light


[Verse 5]
C                 F             C
I got a baby girl comin' in the spring
C                     F                  G
I'm worried 'bout the world she's comin' into
F                  C      F                      C
But she'll have my fight, she'll have her mama's fire
F                C             G
If anyone builds a wall in her journey
                 C
Baby, bust right through


[Chorus]
    G       F                     C
The load is heavy and the road is long
    Em         F         C
And we've only begun to fight
F                  C   F                  C
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
F          C               G
We must go boldly into the darkness
           C
And be the light

[Chorus]
     G       F                     C
The load is heavy and the road is long
    Em         F         C
And we've only begun to fight
F                  C   F                  C
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
F          C               G
We must go boldly into the darkness
           C
And be the light
