[Intro]
G C G C G Am D G x2
[Verse]
G Bm C G
It\’s the shape of things to come, it\’s that moment in the sun
C G Am D
It\’s the wild and reckless turning of the tide
G Bm C G
Sure as every shout begins with a whisper in the wind
C D G
Can\’t deny it\’s quite a time to be alive
G Bm C G
It\’s the changing of the guard, it\’s the calm before the storm
C G Am D
At the crossroads when you\’re forced to draw the line
G Bm C G
Give some love and take a stand cause the future\’s in your hands
C D G
Starting once a upon a time to be alive
Em C
It\’s the sound of the alarm, it\’s the push against the grain
G D
It\’s the single rebel candle that ignites a million flames
Em C
It\’s an ocean overflowing flooding when the levee breaks
D C D G
It\’s when you say the sky\’s the limit when the ground is giving way
[Instrumental]
G C G C G Am D G
[Verse]
G Bm C G
It\’s the riots in the streets, it\’s a war you wage for peace
C G Am D
It\’s the opposition\’s brazen battle cry
G Bm C G
Through the widening divide where alliances collide
C D G
Fighting blindly for a time to be alive
G Bm C G
It\’s the blazin\’ path you pave with each turning of a page
C G Am D
It\’s the moral of a story gone awry
G Bm C G
It\’s the poetry of truth, it\’s a song that sings the blues
C D G
Playing softly for a time to be alive
Em C
It\’s the tolling of the bell, it\’s an echo loud and clear
G D
It\’s the shackles \’round your ankles, it\’s the flowers in your hair
Em C
It\’s a floor plan for destruction, it\’s a road map toward repair
D C D G
It\’s what appears along a highway leading anywhere but here
[Harmonica Solo]
G C G C G Am D G x2
G Bm C G
It\’s the progress through the cracks in a ceiling made of glass
C G Am D
It\’s a finger on the button, say goodbye
G Bm C G
It\’s the anger in the crowd when they burn the cities down
C D G
In the ashes of a time to be alive
G Bm C G
It\’s the point of no return, it\’s the lessons that you learn
C G Am D
It\’s the flags or gods or facts you stand behind
G Bm C G
Bridge a gap or build a wall, some will rise and some will fall
C D G Em
Either way, oh what a time to be alive!
C D Bm Em
With our weary heads held high as we face an uphill climb
C D Bm Em
Better keep on keeping on \’cause a change is gonna come
C D G
Sing it loud, oh what a time to be alive!
[Outro]
G C G C G Am D G
