	        F# 
Is it better not to look back or 
         G#m 
should we dust off our journals 
                                         B 
Stare deep through the feedback for the new day 
            F# 
Like the distortion has things to say 

                  F# 
Is it better to ignore it, that 
            G#m 
these bomb shelters are built of sand 
       B 
Scoring themes from our views, making movies of tragic news 
         F# 
Does this helpless picnic have its own Neverland 

Chorus 
         F# 
America never hurts 
                 G#m 
They say America never cries 
                        B 
Like no one's lost in America 
                   F# 
No one's lost in America 

              F# 
Listening to pink noise, we make 
                    G#m 
Mirrors out of shop windows 
                          B 
No one dares to pull the red card, 
                                   F# 
conscience is scared by truths we'd discard 
               F#                    G#m 
And now we've Arilius, but soon comes Decious, 
             B 
and perhaps Constantine is a devil 
        F# 
Keen on making things easy 

Chorus 

E                 B       G#m 
         Come alive, come alive 
E               B          G#m       F# 
         Come alive, come alive 

                      F# 
The prophet's cello's silenced, 
                          G#m 
If love burns us down to violence 
                     B 
If the whims of the nations cater 
                    F# 
elation will we not need a soul to blame? 

                      F# 
He has to take it all alone 
              G#m 
Is His move political, a play for the people? No 
                     B 
He takes one for the little guy 
                       G#m 
He takes a hit for the little guy 

                 F# 
They say America never hurts 
                  G#m 
They say America never cries, 
                         B 
Like no one's lonely in America 
                          F# 
Like no one's lonely in America
