Building Better Worlds

 
               Intro 
 
(verse 1) 
  Am                              F 
When the darkness closed in all around 
                     C 
It didn't bring us down 
               G                 Am 
It only made stronger for those days 
                                           F 
When they turned our dreams to distant thoughts 
                         C 
The embers still burned hot 
                         G 
And now the flames will blaze 
 
 
Chorus
               Am 
So let them burn 
              F 
They set the fire 
            C 
Now we can see 
             G 
How they conspire 
                     Am 
But they've been shattered 
               F 
Like broken glass 
                   C 
And now we're building better worlds 
          G 
On the ashes of the past 
 
 
verse 2
 Am                                  F 
When oppression came here from all sides 
                       C 
We didn't take their lies 
               g 
We saw a revolution rising 
 Am                                    F 
When they asked us why we're not the same 
                         C 
We wouldn't play their game 
                     G 
We are the voices crying 
 
 
Chorus
               Am 
So let them burn 
              F 
They set the fire 
            C 
Now we can see 
             G 
How they conspire 
                     Am 
But they've been shattered 
               F 
Like broken glass 
                   C 
And now we're building better worlds 
          G 
On the ashes of the past 
 
verse 3
F            G           Am 
But no the battle isn't won 
                         F 
The war has only just begun 
                  G             Am           C              F 
And we'll keep fighting, keep building, a better place for us 
               G              Am 
And if they strike us down tonight 
                  C                 F 
We'll sear the darkness with the light 
            G                     Am 
It's revolution time, and you're on our side 
 
 
Chorus(quiet) 
               Am 
So let them burn 
              F 
They set the fire 
            C 
Now we can see 
             G 
How they conspire 
                     Am 
But they've been shattered 
               F 
Like broken glass 
                   C 
And now we're building better worlds 
          G 
On the ashes of the past 
 
Chorus
        G#   Am 
So let them burn (So we'll let them) 
               F 
They set the fire (burn tonight) 
             C 
Now we can see (Watch the flames light) 
             G 
How they conspire (Up the sky) 
             G#      Am 
But they've been shattered (Shattered like a) 
              F 
Like broken glass (Broken glass) 
                    C 
And now we're building better worlds 
         G            G# 
On the ashes of the past
