[Verse 1]
    C                           G
In times of war, the educated class knew what to do
    Dm                                    Fmaj7
In times of peace, their pupils couldn't meet your baby blues
      C                          G
Four hundred million animals competing for the zoo
             Dm       Fmaj7
It's such a bleak sunrise
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   C       G          Dm      Am
Untrue, unkind and unnatural
          C          G              Dm      Am
How the cruel, with time, becomes classical
 
[Chorus]
             C
I know that walls fall, shacks shake
  G
Bridges burn and bodies break
       Dm                     Am
It's clear something's gonna change
             C  G                    Dm     Am
And when it does, which classical remains?
 
C G Dm Am
C G Dm Am
 
[Verse 2]
     C                                 G
The temple's gone, but still a single column stands today
      Dm                               Fmaj7
That sinking feeling fades, but never really goes away
     C                           G
A staircase up to nothingness inside your DNA
                 Dm      Fmaj7
Well, that's a bleak sunrise
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   C       G          Dm      Am
Untrue, unkind and unnatural
          C          G              Dm      Am
How the cruel, with time, becomes classical
 
[Chorus]
             C
I know that walls fall, shacks shake
  G
Bridges burn and bodies break
       Dm                     Am
It's clear something's gonna change
             C  G                    Dm     Am
And when it does, which classical remains?

How the cruel, with time, becomes classical

I know that walls fall, shacks shake

Bridges burn and bodies break
       Dm                     Am
It's clear something's gonna change
             C  G                    Dm     Am
