The First Drop

[Intro]
G#m B F# E G#m B F# E
G#m B F# E
G#m B

[Verse 1]
F# E    G#m    F# G#m         B
    I'm calling   out Only ech
       G#m F#
oes respond
      E                    B
But I scream 'til my voice is gone
G#m         F#   G#m           B         G#m
   Crouching  in corners and hiding your face
F#           E            B        G#m
I'm sick and tired of playing your games I'm not alone
F#
G#m        B           G#m
   I stand amongst the voiceless
    F#          E       B   G#m
Millions in the unforgiving sun Here arminarm
F#
G#m          B
   We parade these streets
G#m        F#    E    F#
   And sing  our songs

[Chorus]
G#m   B          F#       E         G#m
   Is there even anything left to explain?
   B        F#          E         G#m
Am I really someone you need to restrain?
B             F#         E          G#m B F# E
Can't you listen to what we have to say?

[Verse 2]
G#m      F#
   Unknowing,
G#m            B        G#m F#
we lie and wait for the rain
   E                   B
To wash away what they have made
G#m         F#       G#m                B      G#m F#
   Face down  in the dirt with your foot on my back
       E              B        G#m
In the distance I hear thunder crack C'mon Stand up!
F#
G#m        B      G#m           F#        E           B
   This system of power and privilege is about to come to
   G#m
an end Here come the clouds
F#
G#m          B       G#m         F# E F#
   The first drop is falling down

[Chorus]
G#m   B          F#       E         G#m
   Is there even anything left to explain?
   B        F#          E         G#m
Am I really someone you need to restrain?
B             F#         E          G#m B F# E
Can't you listen to what we have to say?

[Interlude]
D#m G#m B G#m
E F# G#m B F#

[Bridge]
E B    G#m             B
   Our futures burn in red horizons
G#m                   E        F#
   Ashes scattered in winds of change
G#m         B
Casualty numbers are rising
F#       E       B         G#m
Now it's time to raise the stakes
                B                   G#m            E
We're meant for something more than living just to put food
F#     G#m
on our plates
        B               F#         E     B   G#m
I can't help but wonder why should we participate?

[Chorus]
G#m   B          F#       E         G#m
   Is there even anything left to explain?
   B        F#          E         G#m
Am I really someone you need to restrain?
B             F#         E          G#m B
Can't you listen to what we have to say?

[Outro]
F# E F# G#m
