Something Is Breaking

Will Varley


Tom: Em

Em

[VERSE 1]
        Em                 D             C          C
There's money on table and blight on the floor
    C                         D      Em         Em
And nobody knows what they're saving for
        Em                       D        C        C
And the cries for peace can't be heard anymore
         C                      Am            Am
Over the sound the carpet bombs falling

[CHORUS]
     Em                         D             C        C
They starved the kings like the kings did the poor
       Em         D            Am   Em     Em
And it feels like something is breaking

[VERSE 2]
        Em                      D            C          C
There's new fires raging in the east streets again
           C                     D        Em         Em
And there's wounds of hatred all over our skin
        Em                  D          C        C
And the wider they open the more we descend
         C              Am            Am
Until there's no way of healing

[CHORUS]
     Em            D             C         C
If divided we fall this could be the end
      Em         D            Am   Em       Em
Still feels like something is breaking

[VERSE 3]
    Em                      D       C          C
The cowards did hide behind digital masks
         C               D             Em         Em
And politicians there to fill your own glass
    Em                D         C        C
You turned our future into your past
      C                     Am            Am
While children drown in the water

[CHORUS]
      Em                     D         C      C
There once was a light where now it is dark
        Em        D            Am   Em        Em
Can you tell that something is breaking?

[VERSE 4]
    Em             D          C          C
How many more will die on the sand
    C                     D      Em         Em
How long will it be 'till we understand
         Em                      D              C        C
It means nothing to put down the flag where you stand
       C                  Am            Am
And religion will lead us nowhere

[CHORUS]
         Em                      D         C         C
We must unplug our brains and discover our hand
       Em       D            Am   Em        Em
For we all know something is breaking
