[Verse 1]
G          C
We live in  Orwellian times
G                   C
It feels impossible  to pick a side
Dm7          Am7
In sentences  that dance and hide
B                 Bb             C
The truth becomes   a broken lie

[Chorus]
G
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
Dm7
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn
C
I'll walk you through the apocalypse
Am7
Where me and you could co-exist
G
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
Dm7
The futurе fights the past, the books begin to burn
C
Words wagе war, meanings being missed
Am7
I'll walk you through the apocalypse

[Interlude]
C Em7 F G C

[Verse 2]
G         C
We live in  Orwellian times
G                 C
A deepening sense  of fear and crime
Dm7                   Am7
On the playing fields, in exclusive clubs
B                       Bb                       C
And the people machines still making fools of us

[Chorus]
G
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
Dm7
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn
C
I'll walk you through the apocalypse
Am7
Where me and you could co-exist
G
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
Dm7
The futurе fights the past, the books begin to burn
C
Words wagе war, meanings being missed
Am7
I'll walk you through the apocalypse

[Chorus]
G
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
Dm7
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn

I'll walk you through the apocalypse
Am7
Where me and you could co-exist
G
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
Dm7
The futurе fights the past, the books begin to burn
C
Words wagе war, meanings being missed

I'll walk you through the apocalypse
