Lyrics

[Intro]
| C | - | - | - |

[Pre-Verse]
| C | G | Dm | Am |
| C | G | Dm |

[Verse 1]
Am   C
  In times of war,
                  G7
the educated class  knew what to do
   Dm7
In times of peace,
                          Fmaj7b5
their pupils couldn't meet       your baby blues
     Cmaj7                      G7
four hundred million animals competing for the zoo
            Dm7      Fmaj7
It's such a bleak sunrise 

[Bridge]
  C       G          Dm
Untrue, unkind and unnatural
Am        C           G
  How the cruel, with time,
       Dm
becomes  classical
Am            C
  I know that walls fall, shacks shake

[Chorus]
G
Bridges burn and bodies break
     Dm
It's clear something's gonna change
Am
  And when it does,
C G                        Dm Am
   which classical remains?

[Pre-Verse]
| C | G | Dm | Am |
| C | G | Dm |

[Verse 2]
Am    C
  The temple's gone,
                   G7
but still a single column stands today
     Dm7
That sinking feeling fades,
             Fmaj7b5
but never really goes away
  Cmaj7                         G7
A staircase up to nothingness inside your DNA
                    Dm7   Fmaj7
Well, that's a bleak   sunrise 

[Bridge]
  C       G          Dm
Untrue, unkind and unnatural
Am        C           G
  How the cruel, with time,
       Dm
becomes  classical
Am            C
  I know that walls fall, shacks shake

[Chorus]
G
Bridges burn and bodies break
     Dm
It's clear something's gonna change
Am
  And when it does,
C G                        Dm Am
   which classical remains?

       Dm
becomes  classical

     I know that walls fall,
shacks shake
