Nothing Is Sound (I recieved a pre-release. I will not send it to you.)
This is quite possibly the best song on the album, and though it is easy,
pay attention to the changes. It is in standard tuning, and all the chords
are open form.
[D]Is this the New Year, [G]or just another night?
[D]Is this the new fear, [G]or just another fright?
[G]Is this the new t[Bm]ear, or just an[A]other desperation?[D]
[D]Is this the finger, or j[G]ust another fist?
[D]Is this the kingdom, or [G]just a hit-and-miss?
[G]A misdirecti[Bm]on, most of al[A]l this desperation[Bm].
[D]Is this what they call freedom?
[A]Is this what you call pain?
[Bm]Is this what they call discontented [G]fame?
[D]It'll be a day like this [A]one,
[A]When the world caves in,[Bm] when the world caves in,
[G]when the world caves i[D]n
[D]I'm singing this one li[G]ke a broken piece of glass
[D]For broken arms and broken [G]noses in the back
[G]Is this the New Y[Bm]ear, or just an[A]other desperation?[Bm] [G]
[D]You push until you're shovin[A]g
[A]You bend until you break,
[Bm]Do you stand on the broken f[G]ield where your fathers lay?
[D]It'll be a day like this [A]one,
[A]When the world caves in,[Bm] when the world caves in,
[G]when the world caves in[D]
[A]When the world caves in[Bm],[G]
[G]when the world caves in[D],[A]
[A]when the world caves in[A] [Bm] [G]
[D]There's nothing here worth savin[A]g,
[A]There's no one here at all
[Bm]Is there any net left that [G]could break our fall?
[D]It'll be a day like this [A]one
[A]When the sky falls down[Bm],
[Bm]when the hungry and [G]poor and deserted are foun[D]d.
[D]Are you discontented?[A]
[A]Have you been pushing har[Bm]d?
[Bm]Have you been throwing [G]down this broken house of cards?
[D]It'll be a day like this [A]one,
[A]When the world caves in, [Bm]when the world caves in,
[G]when the world caves in[D] [G] [D] [G]
[D]Is there nothing left now? Nothing lef[G]t to sing?
[D]Are there any left who haven't kissed the ene[G]my?
[G]Is this the New Y[Bm]ear, or just an[A]other desperation? [Bm] [G]Yeah, yeah
[D]Does justice ever find you?[A]
[A]Do the wicked never lose?
[Bm]Is there any other song to sing besides these blu[G]es?
[D]And nothing is O[A]K,
[A]Till the world caves in,[Bm] till the world caves in,
[G]till the world caves in,[D] till the world caves in.
[A]Till the world caves in,[Bm] till the world caves in,
[G]till the world caves in,[D] till the world caves in.
[A]Till the world caves in,[Bm] till the world caves in,
[G]till the world caves [D]in,
