[Intro]
Em G C
Em G C
Em F G Am
G F C
[Verse 1]
Em G C Blacken the sky and sharpen the axe
Em G C Forever cursed to live unrelaxed
Em F G Am We make no bones, a house is not a home
G FCAnd a home is nowhere we can stay
[Verse 2]
Em G C Dodged the draft but can't dodge the war
Em G C Forever cursed to live insecure
Em F G Am The curtain drops, a gang of Gen X cops assembles
G F CTrembling before our human nature
[Chorus 1]
Dm C It wasn't built for me
Dm Am G It's your academy
F C G Am But in my time, you taught me how to see
G F C Each generation makes its own apology
Em G C
Em G C
Em F G Am
G F C
[Verse 3]
Em G C Welcome back, my oldest friend
Em G C Are you cursed to depart again?
Em F G Am Your ways and means, eternally obscene
G F CAnd always looking for obscenity and hatred
[Chorus 2]
Dm C It wasn't built for me
Dm Am G It's your academy
F C G Am But in my time, you taught me how to see
G F C Each generation makes its own apology
Em G C
Em G C
Em F G Am
G F C
[Outro]
Dm C It wasn't built for me
Dm Am G It's your academy
F C G Am But in my time, you taught me how to see
G F C Each generation makes its own apology
F G Am It's by design and consequentially
G F C Each generation makes its own apology
