Verse 1:
   Am7 
An ill wind comes arising 
                               Cadd9 
Across the cities of the plain 
                                  Gsus2 
There's no swimming in the heavy water 
                           Am7 
No singing in the acid rain 
                    G 
Red alert, red alert 
                        Am7 
It's so hard to stay together 
                           Cadd9 
Passing through revolving doors 
            Cadd9 
We need someone to talk to 
        Gsus2                               Am7 
And someone to sweep the floors, incomplete, incomplete

     Dm                  C 
The world weighs on my shoulders 
      Dm             F    G 
But what am I to do? 
     Dm                  C 
You sometimes drive me crazy 
       Dm             F    G 
But I worry about you 
    Dm              C 
I know it makes no difference 
     Dm                      F    G 
To what you're going through 
       Dm                C 
But I see the tip of the iceberg 
       Dm             F    G 
And I worry about you

Verse 1:
                    Am7 
Cruising under your radar 
                             Cadd9 
Watching from the satellites, take a page from the red book 
 Gsus2 
Keep them in your sights 
                    Em 
Red alert, red alert 
 Am7 
Left and rights of passage 
  Cadd9 
Black and whites of youth 
         Dm 
Who can face the knowledge 
                            Am7 
That the truth is not the truth? 
         Am7 
Obsolete, absolute yeah
