_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ It's the shape of [Gm] things to come, [Eb] it's that moment [Ab] in the sun.
It's the wild reckless turning [Bbm] of the tide
[Eb] _ [Ab] Sure as every [Cm] shout begins [C] with a whisper [Ab] in the wind [Db] can't deny.
It's [Eb] quite a time to [Ab] be alive
_ It's the changing [Cm] of the guard.
[Eb] It's the calm [Ab] before the storm at the crossroads when you're forced to [Bbm] draw the line
[Eb] _ [Ab] Give some love and [Cm] take a stand [Db] cause the future's [Ab] in your hands [Db] starting once [Eb] upon a time to [Ab] be alive
_ [Fm] It's the sound of the alarm.
[Db] It's the push against the grain
[Ab] It's the single rebel candle [Eb] that ignites a million flames
[Fm] It's an ocean overflowing [Db] flooding when the levee breaks.
It's [Eb] when you say
The [Db] sky's the limit [Eb] when the ground is [Ab] given way _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ It's the riots [Cm] in the streets, [Db] it's a war you [Ab] wage for peace.
[Db] It's the [Ab] opposition's brazen [Bbm] battle cry
[Eb] _ [Ab] Through the [Cm] widening divide [Db] where alliances [Ab] collide [Db] fighting blindly [Eb] for a time to [Ab] be alive
_ It's the blazing [Cm] path you pave [Db] with each turning [Ab] of a page.
[Db] It's the moral [Ab] of a story [Bbm] gonna ride
[Eb] _ [Ab] It's the poetry [Cm] of truth, [Fm] it's a song that [Ab] sings the blues [Db] playing softly [Eb] for a time to [Ab] be alive
_ [Fm] It's the tolling of the bell.
[Db] It's an echo loud and clear.
[Ab] It's the shackles round your ankles
[Eb] It's the flowers in your hair.
[Fm] It's a floor plan for destruction.
[Db] It's a roadmap toward repair.
It's [Eb] what appears _
[Db] along a highway [Eb] leading anywhere [Ab] but here _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ It's the progress [Cm] through the cracks [Fm] in a ceiling [Ab] made of glass.
It's a finger on the button [Bbm] say goodbye
[Eb] _ [Ab] It's the anger [Cm] in the crowd [Ab] when they burn the cities down [Db] in the ashes [Eb] of a time to [Ab] be alive
_ It's the point of [Cm] no return.
[Db] It's the lessons [Ab] that you learn.
[Db] It's the flags or [Ab] gods or facts you [Bbm] stand behind
[Eb] _ [Ab] Bridge a gap or [Cm] build a wall.
[Db] Some will rise and [Ab] some will fall [Db] either way.
Oh, [Eb] what a time to be [Fm] alive
_ [Db] With our weary [Eb] heads held high [G] as we face an [Fm] uphill climb
[Db] Better keep on [Eb] keeping on [Cm] cause a change is [Fm] gonna come.
[Db] Sing it loud.
Oh, [Eb] what a time to be [Ab] alive _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Eb] _
