E      C#m                B        E  C#m
Every thing's gonna be alright boys, help is
        B
on the way
 A                     C#m B
Hold your head up high now,
                       E/G# A
there's no need to cry now
          E/G#        B
We're not running anymore

B         G#m        F#        B
Leave the politics behind boys,
           G#m          F#
they're not working anymore
E                         G#m F#
There's so much more at stake here,
                  B/D# E
it's make or break here
           B/D#        C#m
Haven't we been here before -
A B/A C#m/A C#m B/C# C#m B/D#
Oh cmon
E                 F#m  E   B/D# C#m B A
tell me what we're waiting for

Chorus:
E                   C#m                B      A
You gotta remember, you don't have to be afraid
E                                       C#m
You still have the freedom to learn, and say
          B          A
what you want to say
E                   C#m            B
You gotta remember, don't let 'em take away
E/G#                  A   B        E
The land we call the home of the brave

Who sings the song of the people?
You don't hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer
To the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like this before

So you're trying to shake this feeling
That trouble's right outside the door
You lie awake each dark night
Like a time bomb wound up too tight
A storm in waiting, just offshore
Well, come on!

Tell me what we're waiting for

Chorus - x3
