[Intro] Am [Verse 1]
AmTidy your books up AmPut them under your bed AmAnd gather your thoughts up AmBut keep 'em in your head AmBe careful what you wish for AmBe careful what you dream AmThey let you sing your songs, son AmBut they’ll never hear you scream DWhy Am DWhy Am
[Verse 2]
AmButton your coat up AmTake shelter from the rain AmThey want you to be like them AmBut you can never be the same Am’Cause you’re standing on the outside AmThey’ll never let you in AmThey’ll let you play the game, son AmBut they’ll never let you win DWhy Am DWhy Am
[Instrumental] Am [Verse 3]
AmNever let them bare witness AmTo the tears in your eyes AmAnd never take a handshake AmFrom the prophets and their lies Am’Cause they put you in the wrong line AmYou’ve been crying out for more AmThey’ve given you the key, son AmBut you’ll never find the door DWhy Am DWhy Am
[Solo] Am Am7 [Verse 4]
AmYou’ve fallen like an angel AmStranded on the earth AmThey let you see their riches AmThey never tell you what you’re worth AmThey’ve put you in the back seat AmWhile they’re heading for the sun AmAnd if you’re waiting for the rapture
[Outro]

AmThe day will never come... AmThe day will never come... DThe day will never come... DThe day will never come...
