The Future Is A Foreign Land

	  		

Gm 
Fifteen years from now 
  Dm 
I know it feels remote 
    Eb             Bb 
But picture it somehow 
        F 
In your head 

     Gm 
It's 1984 
    Dm 
And knocking on your door 
       Eb               Bb 
Is the Brownshirt Stasi guard 
             F 
Boom, you're gone 

                        Eb        Bb 
And in the blood of the Kennedys 
    F              Dm 
The good ones get shot 
                      Eb        Bb 
And in the absence of sympathy 
          F 
Won't you hear me out? 

        Gm     Dm Eb 
When it all burns down 
        Bb        F 
When it all burns down 
       Gm     Dm Eb                  Bb 
I will hold you close for the minute 
           F 
Yeah, I'll hold you for the minute it takes 

Gm 
Fifty-five years from now 
   Dm 
I know it sounds insane 
    Eb             Bb             F 
The dark fascist regime might be gone 

                           Eb        Bb 
Oh, if you by then have forgiven me 
     F             Dm 
When push comes to shove 
                    Eb       Bb 
We don't have to be enemies 
          F 
Won't you hear me out? 

        Gm      Dm Eb 
When it all burns down 
        Bb        F 
When it all burns down 
       Gm     Dm Eb                  Bb 
I will hold you close for the minute 
           F 
For the minute 

        Bb        Gm 
When it all burns down 
         C7       Eb                     Bb 
And the flames devour everything that we are 
       F                       Eb 
I will hold you for the minute 
       Ebm/F#                     Bb 
I will hold you for the minute it takes 

Passagem (Bb  A  Gm) 

Gm 
With these words at hand 
Dm              F 
The future is a foreign land 
   Eb                       Bb            F 
So let us pray for more in twenty twenty-four 
 Gm 
(Twenty twenty-four) 
                    Dm 
We could grow old together 

(Twenty twenty-four) 
                   Eb      Bb 
We could love one another 

(Twenty twenty-four) 
                            F 
And then we'll from then be peace forevermore 
G 
Peace forevermore 

          Am     Em F 
But if it all burns down 
      C         G 
If it all burns down 
       Am     Em F                   C 
I will hold you close for the minute 
          G 
For the minute 

      F         Am 
If it all burns down 
        D7       F                       C 
And the flames devour everything that we are 
       G                       F 
I will hold you for the minute 
       Fm/Ab                      Am 
I will hold you for the minute it takes
