Am
Fiftewn years from now
Em
I know it feels remote
F               C
But picture it somehow
G
In your head
Am
It's 1984
Em
And knocking on your door
F                       C
Is the Brownshirt Stasi guard
G
Boom, you're gone
                        F        C
And in the blood of the Kennedys
G                       Em
The good ones get shot
                        F
And in the absence of sympathy
             G
Won't you hear me out?
        Am      Em F
When it all burns down
       C           G

Am           Em F               C
I will hold you close for the minute
G
Yeah, I'll hold you for the minute it takes

Am
Fifty-five years from now
Em
I know it sounds insane
F               C                G
The dark fascist regime might be gone
                         F           C
Oh, if you by then have forgiven me
    G             Em
Whеn push comes to shove
                    F       C
We don't havе to be enemies
         G
Won't you hear me out?
        Am     Em  F
When it all burns down
        C          G
When it all burns down
Am            Em  F           C
I will hold you close for the minute
        G
For the minute
       Am
When it all burns down
        D4     D   Fm                     C
And the flames devour everything that we are
      G                 F
I will hold you for the minute
Fm                                C
I will hold you for the minute it takes
Am
With these words at hand
       Em
The future is a foreign land
   F                      C   G  Am
So let us pray for more in 2024
                  Em
We could grow old together
                  F       C
We could love one another
                            G
And then we'll from then be peace forevermore
Am
Peace forevermore
Am        Bm       F#m  G
But if it all burns down
     D          Am
If it all burns down
       Bm   F#m G             D
I will hold you close for the minute
Am
For the minute
Bm
If it all burns down
        E4      E Gm                    D
And the flames devour everything that we are
       Am                       G
I will hold you for the minute
       G                        Bm
I will hold you for the minute it takes
