INTRO: GCGCCmG
I never knew so many bad times
Bb
Could follow me so mercilessly
F
It's so surreal, all the pain that I feel
CEbG
The future ain't what it used to be
It doesn't matter what they're thinking
Bb
It doesn't matter what they're thinking of me
F
It's always so cold and I'm too young to be old
CEbG
The future ain't what it used to be
CG
Ooh, were there ever any stars in the sky?
DG
And did the sun ever shine so bright?
CG
Ooh, do you have any dreams I can borrow
DG
Just to get me through the lonely nights?
BbF
Is there anything left to hold on to
CGBb
When the rivers wash it all away? (wash it all away)
F
Is there anyone left to hold on to?
CDCBmAmG
Is there anything left I can say_____?
EmC
Say a prayer for the fallen angels
AmG
Stem the tide of the rising waters
EmC
Toll a bell for the broken hearted
Am
Burn a torch for your sons and daughters
GEm
The endless night has got a hold of me
CAm
Dark days are pulling me forward
GEm
And all these years are washing over me
CAm
And I'm crying - I'm lost forever
G
In a future that ain't what it used to be
C
A future that ain't what it used to be
G N.C. G
A future that ain't what it used to be - no more
C
(no more, no more, no more) no more
G
It's like a storm that's never ending
Bb
It's like a shadow on the land and the sea
F
There's nothing as sad as a tomorrow gone bad
CEbG
The future ain't what it used to be, come on
G
Some days I feel so numb and empty
Bb
And those would be the good days for me
F
Nothing gets to me now, unless I'm thinking of how
CEbG
The future ain't what it used to be
