 E5 [C#5] [Eb5] X2
 Yeah,  we say making changes
 starts in the little  things you do
 Revolution begins  at home
but  for most of us it ends at two
We're  doing something
we're  making changes
Like  changing the brand
of  crap we buy
We  say it makes a difference
 but that's  just another lie.
 X2
 It used to  be us and them
 and you  and me
 And now we can't  reach our potential
without  a common enemy
A  real war
to  fight against
instead  of our petty
disagreements
How  can I rationalize  my life
 during wartime lie?
?  X3
 Then:
 A call  to action and no  reaction
Taking  our lives in  our  own  hands
Instead  of sitting around and  talking
about  the same old shitty bands
 The war's  going
on  right now and
I'm  not doing
anything  about it
Without  a crowd I'm
not  so loud
 I can't  do anything  by myself
 But that's just another lie
 X2
 End on G5

[Ab5] [C5] E

Yeah[Ab5], we say making chan[C#5]ges
starts in the li[Eb5]ttle things you do
Re[Ab5]volution [C#5]begins at home
[Eb5]but for most of us it ends at two

[F5]We're doing something
[C#5]we're making changes
[F5]Like changing the brand
[C#5]of crap we buy
[F5]We say it makes a [C#5]difference
but tha[Eb5]t's just another lie.

[Intro Chord Progression] X2

It used [Ab5]to be us and [C#5]them
and [Eb5]you and me
And now we [Ab5]can't reach our [C#5]potential
[Eb5]without a common enemy

[F5]A real war
[C#5]to fight against
[F5]instead of our petty
[C#5]disagreements
[F5]How can I [C#5]rationalize my [Eb5]life
during wartime lie?

[C#5] [C#]? [C#5] [Ab5] [F#5] [Ab5] X3

Then: [C#5] [Eb5]

A [C#5]call to action and [Ab5]no r[F#5]eact[Ab5]ion
[C#5]Taking our lives [Ab5]in o[F#5]ur own[Ab5] hands
[C#5]Instead of s[Ab5]itting [F#5]around [Ab5]and talking
[C#5]about the same old shitty [Eb5]bands

The [F5]war's going
[C#5]on right now and
[F5]I'm not doing
[C#5]anything about it
[F5]Without a crowd I'm
[C#5]not so loud
I [F5]can't do any[C#5]thing by [Eb5]myself

But that's just another lie

[Intro Chord Progression] X2
End on G
