[Verse 1]
Gm
Fifteen years from now
Dm
I know it feels remote
Eb Bb
But picture it somehow
F
In your head
Gm
It's 1984
Dm
And knocking on your door
Eb Bb
Is the Brownshirt Stasi
guard
F
Boom, you're gone
And in the blood of the
Eb Bb
Kennedys
F Dm
The good ones get shot
And in the absence of
Eb Bb
sympathies
F
Won't you hear me out?
[Chorus]
Gm Eb
When it all burns down
Bb F
When it all burns down
Gm Eb
I will hold you close
for
Bb
the minute
F
Yeah, I'll hold you
for the
minute it takes
[Verse 2]
Gm
Fifty-five years from
now
Dm
I know it sounds insane
Eb Bb
The dark fascist regime
might
F
be gone (Might be gone)
Oh, if you by then havе
Eb Bb
forgiven me
F
When push comеs to
Dm
shove
We don't have to be
Eb Bb
enemies
F
Won't you hear me out?
