[Verse 1]
C Em/G# Am Am7/G
History's been leaning on me lately;
D9/F# G
I can feel the future breathing down my neck
C Em/G#
And all the things I thought were true
Am Am7/G
When I was young, and you were too
D9/F#
Turned out to be broken
G
And I don't know what comes next
[Chorus]
Am F
In a world that has decided
C G
That it's going to lose its mind
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
C Em/G# Am Am7/G F G
[Verse 2]
C Em/G# Am Am7/G
They've started raising walls around the world now
D9/F# G
Like hackles raised upon a cornered cat
C Em/G#
On the borders, in our heads
Am Am7/G
Between the things that can and can't be said
D9/F#
We've stopped talking to each other
G
And there's something wrong with that
[Chorus]
Am F
So before you go out searching
C G
Don't decide what you will find
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
[Bridge]
F Em
You should know
Am F#dim
you're not alone
F Em
And that trouble comes,
Am F#dim
and trouble goes
F Em
How this ends,
Am F#dim
no one knows
F Em
So hold on tight, when the wind blows
Am F C G
Am F C
[Verse 3]
C Em/G# Am Am7/G
The wind blew both of us to sand and sea
D9/F# G
And where the dry land stands is hard to say
C Em/G#
As the current drags us by the shore
Am Am7/G
We can no longer say for sure
D9/F# G
Who's drowning, or if they can be saved
[Chorus]
Am F
But when you're out there floundering
C G
Like a lighthouse I will shine
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
Am F
Like a beacon reaching out
C G
To you and yours from me and mine
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
Am F
In a world that has decided
C G
That it's going to lose its mind
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
