[Intro]
F#m E A A

[Verse 1]
A                     E                                 A
My generation’s stuck in the mirror
A                                 E                                 F#m
Forget about the poor ’cause I don’t like the word
F#m                                 E                                 A
And I need to know the name of my neighbor
A                 E                                 F#m
I am not known if I’m not seen or heard
F#m                                 E                                 A
And I am afraid of that which I do not know
A                                 E                                 F#m
So why don’t I just ask your fking name
F#m                                 E                 A
Justice just gets buried in a white light
A                                 E                                 A
I heard there was a time we’d call it shame

[Verse 2]
A                                 E                                 A
Your cynicism buys me no more time here
A                 E                                 F#m
Imagine my relief to hit the walls
F#m                                 E                                 A
Running from the weight of ancient labels
A                 E                                 F#m
Believing what identity there was
F#m                                 E                 A
Well my generation’s stuck in the mirror
A                                 E                                 F#m
Forget about the poor ’cause I don’t like the word
F#m                                 E                                 A
And I need to know the name of my neighbor
A                 E                                 D
I am not known if I’m not seen or heard

D                                 F#m                 A
Let’s raise our hands for a moment
A                 E                 F#m
And leave it all behind
E                                 A
Don’t be afraid for a moment
The blind leading the blind
