D A/C# Bm...............
[Verse 1]
D A/C# BmI was just a kid in the 2000s when
G D/F# EmPeople said you couldn't trust the government
D A/C# BmA single mom and double shift to feed her kids but
G A..It worked out fine
[Verse 2]
D A/C# BmI was still a kid in 2010
G D/F# EmWhen people said you couldn't trust the internet
D A/C# BmBut I used it to escape and maybe find some friends and
G A..It worked out fine
[Chorus]
G A..They're making signs out of picket fences
D A/C# BmScreaming like it's World War Three
G A..Kids are leaving their schools to protest
D A/C# BmEverything they see on TV
G..Hmm
[Verse 3]
D A/C# BmI was still a kid in 2012
G D/F# EmWhen you were switching schools before our brother left
D A/C# BmWe never really figured out the time difference but
G A..We're still fine
[Chorus]
G A..You think you're safe behind picket fences
D A/C# BmBut you find it harder to breathe
G A..I'm sure the kids can outsmart the senate
D A/C# BmBefore it hits two hundred degrees
G..Hmm
[Bridge]
D A/C#They tell us it's ******
BmBut we'll make it better
D A/C#The world is on fire
BmThen I'll be your shelter
D A/C#They tell us it's ******
BmBut we'll make it better
D A/C#The world is on fire
BmThen I'll be your shelter
D A/C#They tell us it's ****** (**** your picket fence)
BmBut we'll make it better (And your government)
D A/C#The world is on fire (And the consequence)
BmThen I'll be your shelter (Of all the arguments)
D A/C#They tell us it's ****** (**** your picket fence)
BmBut we'll make it better (And your government)
D A/C#The world is on fire (And the consequence)
BmThen I'll be your shelter (Of all the arguments)
[Chorus]
G A..They're making signs out of picket fences
D A/C# BmScreaming like it's World War Three
G A..Kids are leaving their schools to protest
D A/C# BmEverything they see on TV
G A..You think you're safe behind picket fences
D A/C# BmBut you find it harder to breathe
G A..I know the kids can outsmart the senate
D A/C# BmBefore it hits two hundred degrees
[Outro]
D A/C# Bm..I'm twenty-one, crying like a little kid
G D/F# EmThe government officials tweet the world has gone to ****
D A/C# Bm..I pull double shifts just like my mother did
