(intro) Bb F Eb F

 Bb
Watched from a distance it's beautiful
 Gm
Somebody's caught in the undertow
 F
Have you ever felt desperation
           Eb
Cause the salt water's filling your lungs
 Bb
We're in regret of where we sleep
 Gm
Promises never meant to keep
     F
When all that the shadows need
      Eb
Is a good man to hide in a dream
                       Bb
Do they know that the world's on fire

 Bb
Time is a price you can't afford
   Gm
An empty glass and an open door
     F
You get what you pay for in sweat
       Eb
And a voice says please don't forget

                       Bb
Do they know that the world's on fire
Do they know that the time is now
                          F
Do they know that you've got to stand up stand up
          Eb
Use your voice speak out
                        Bb  F
Do they know that it's time

 Bb
Caught in a maze you can't escape
     Gm
The flickering lights and the colored lens
     F
The walls that we build just close in
  Eb
Until we decide to begin
 Bb
Are we distracted by the sun
     Gm
The glittering jewels and the beating drums
       F
Is it going the distance we fear
          Eb
Have you heard that we're already here

                       Bb
Do they know that the world's on fire
Do they know that the time is now
                          F
Do they know that you've got to stand up stand up
          Eb
Use your voice speak out
                       Bb
Do they know that the world's on fire
Do they know that the time is here
                          F
Do they know that you've got to stand up stand up
          Eb
Let your voice be clear
                       Bb
Do they know that it's time

 Gm7                 Eb7+
Some will say we've gone to far
      Gm7                 Eb7+
We're on the edge, we're in too deep
 Gm7                 Eb7+
Some will say we're too far gone
    Gm7             Eb7+
You can't erase a tragedy
