[Verse 1]
C#m                                               A   G#m
   When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
C#m                                                   A   G#m
   And when our summers grow longer and winters won't snow

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m         A                          F#
   From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills
       C#m                       G#m
To the fight in the desert where progress stands still
A                   B
When we've lost our will
                 C#m A
That's how we'll know

[Chorus]
              B        C#m
This is not a test, oh no 
     A            B
This is cardiac arrest
     C#m                A            B
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
      C#m           A                B             C#m
We're crashing into the ground as we all fall from grace

[Verse 2]
C#m                                                 A    G#m
   When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke
C#m
   When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our
A    G#m
homes

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m          A                          F#
   When your home on the range has been torn down and paved
        C#m               G#m
And the buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave
A                 B
What more will it take
          C#m A
For us to know

[Chorus]
              B        C#m
This is not a test, oh no 
     A            B
This is cardiac arrest
     C#m                A            B
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
C#m               A      B             C#m  E C#m B
Kissing the ground as we all fall from grace

[Interlude]
A F# C#m E C#m B A B C#m E C#m B
A F# B

[Bridge]
C#m        E       C#m   B  A       F#      C#m
   This is a chance   to set things straight
        E       C#m    B    A     B    C#m
To bend or break   the rules back into place
     E  C#m  B A      F#
There is   no  middle ground,
  B
no compromise
We've drawn the line
     C#m    E
With perfect aim,
C#m B A           F#             C#m
    we stand back and throw Glass
       E      C#m      B  A      B      C#m
windows break and it's all about to blow
         E    C#m   B   A          F#
Lights go out as we pass the torch again

[Interlude]
   E
In hope that it stays lit
B G#m A F# C#m
Oh
A F# C#m A
F# C#m G#m A
F# C#m
E   A                      F#
 Neutrality means that you don't really care
        C#m                   G#m
Cuz the struggle goes on even when you're not there
A            B
Blind and unaware
                 C#m A
That's how we'll know

[Chorus]
              B        C#m
This is not a test, oh no 
     A            B
This is cardiac arrest
     C#m                A            B
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
      C#m           A                B
We're crashing into the ground as we all, yeah we all,
              C#m
all fall from grace
