	        E                                        F# 
Hard to believe he lets us wake up every day 
E                               F# 
Glory to He who keeps the alien away 
Bm                                   F#m 
'Cause we have been assigned to turn one and one to three 
A                                 Em 
But God says, 'Keep away the blood of the refugee' 
   Bm                               F#m 
So, most of us will come to see that we may never leave 
          A 
But if we could 
                                               E 
'Believe us! Believe us! Oh yeah, we got it so good 
     D                                           A 
That we'll stay here with our heads right in the sand 
             E 
Just like we should' 
E F# 
E F# 
E 
We would love if it was better out there 
                                       F# 
And we would fix it if we only had the time 
E 
But the busyness begets a blindness 
                                       F# 
And the comforts enjoyed eclipse our eyeline 
Bm.                              F#m 
So when you are assigned to turn one and one to three 
Am                        E 
Do your job or go the way of the refugee 
Bm                                       F#m 
Like most of us, you'll come to see that we may never leave 
          A 
But if we could 
                                               E 
'Believe us! Believe us! Oh yeah, we got it so good 
A                                          E 
Whenever you need us, you've got us on the hook 
      D                                           A 
Yeah, we'll stay here with our heads right in the sand 
             E 
Just like we should 
      D 
Yeah, we'll stand proud with our heads in the ground 
     A                E 
Just like you said we should' 
E F# 
F#                E            F#   E 
Muted shades give way to inner riot 
    F#           E           F#     E 
Creases deepen under your command 
       F#            E 
But worry leads to nothing anyway 
    F#                E 
And who are we to whine? 
             A                          D 
When, at the end of the day, we've realized 
                    F# 
We're just doing time 
F# 
They got you buying your chains 
F# 
E/F# 
Hard to believe we've never realized that 
F#m7 
We'll run out of room to grow 
F#maj7 
Maybe we'll marry up 

Maybe we'll have a daughter who marries up 
                                          B/F# 
Maybe she'll have a daughter who marries up 
                           E/F# 
At least you're kind enough to meet in the middle 
                F#m7 
Between what has kept us alive and thriving 
                                     F#maj7 
And what makes us wanna die for your light 
         B/F# 
On us to shine 
                  A.                  D 
But we gotta come on, what did we expect now? 
            A                                      D 
We keep our heads down half the time, no need to reflect how 
                               Bm                        E 
There really isn't anything to do, so sit back and power through 
E 
Better than take your chance in the earth 
E 
Best to live than to die for what you're worth 
They got you buying your chains 
They got you buying your chains 
They got you buying your chains 
They got you buying your chains
