Capo 5th fret

[Intro]
Em G C
Em G C
Em F G Am
G F C

[Verse 1]
Em G C
Blacken the sky and sharpen the axe
Em G C
Forever cursed to live unrelaxed
Em F G Am
We make no bones, a house is not a home
G F C
And a home is nowhere we can stay

[Verse 2]
Em G C
Dodged the draft but can't dodge the war
Em G C
Forever cursed to live insecure
Em F G Am
The curtain drops, a gang of Gen X cops assembles
G F C
Trembling before our human nature

[Chorus 1]
Dm C
It wasn't built for me
Dm Am G
It's your academy
F C G Am
But in my time, you taught me how to see
G F C
Each generation makes its own apology
Em G C
Em G C
Em F G Am
G F C

[Verse 3]
Em G C
Welcome back, my oldest friend
Em G C
Are you cursed to depart again?
Em F G Am
Your ways and means, eternally obscene
