G
It's been a long and amazing time, how it's wasted is such a crime
                 F#m
And the stories we heard still echo in the distance
 
Filled with promises and pain, we had everything to gain
                            C C C C
But the pride that comes before a fall is with us
 
                            G G G
Lights are on and nobody's home, we've gone from color to monochrome
              Gm
Like some faded photograph with ghostly faces
                         E
Whether enemy or a friend, it's the message that we send
                            F
We will never change without until we change within
 
 
Chorus:
                             Fm7sus4
Back when the world was so young (when the world was young)
                               G
To the day when the first song was sung (when the world was young)
                               G
We chose our own way to black, white or gray
                 G
When the world was young
 
                       G
Are we learning from the past or has it all been already cast
                        G
Who can change the course of a war against all reason
                        G
There was one prevailing wind and we said we've got to make a stand
                       G
And now the barrier's between us for a treason
