The Age Of Anxiety

                    A
I just wanna live inside sometimes
                             C#m
Don't wanna have to beg you to subscribe
                          F#m
Are you a man before your father dies?
                                  D           Dm
"But what's a man these days?" I hear you cry
                           A
And are we raising up our children right?
                   C#m
Is my career gonna reignite?
                        F#m
See all the virtue signalers tonight
                          D          Dm
I want that bandwagon to pass me by


[Pre-Chorus 1]

                                  A
Well, I've been scratching around in the dirt
                           C#m
Looking for meaning in the cold, cold earth
                             F#m           F#msus4
To gather in what's left of your self-worth
           F#m              D          Dm   A
Cause only love is what survives of us


[Chorus]

      Bm           A
Cause I hold onto you
    F#m             D
And you hold onto me
       A      E              D
A tiny victory in the age of anxiety


[Verse 2]

                                 A
Do those kids know that I was somebody?
                                C#m
And I've kept all my texts from Amy
                          F#m     F#msus4
My mother was one of those bodies
                         D       Dm
Another stranger off the ferry


[Pre-Chorus 2]

                            A
Don't wanna put my hands up in the air
                             C#m
And raise my phone up like I just don't care
                             F#m               F#msus4
Let outrage blow me down the White House stairs
                           D               Dm
Oh, did I waste my time on all that prayer?

[Pre-Chorus 3]

                          A      Asus4
No, I won't be your apparatchik
           A                  C#m
And be the kind who's blind to all its magic
                           F#m               F#msus4
So here comes your European exit
                            D      Dm   A
With asylum seekers in your attic


[Chorus]

   Bm            A
So I hold onto you
    F#m             D
And you hold onto me
        A     E               D
A tiny victory in the age of anxiety


[Bridge]

                         A
Today I do not feel like - being strong
                                C#m
And don't wanna admit to the world I'm wrong
                                F#m               F#msus4
Don't make me feel that I have to belong
                              D         Dm  A
I hope the band won't make me sing along


[Chorus]

      Bm            A
Cause I hold onto you
    F#m            D
And you hold onto me
        A     E               D    Dsus2/B
A tiny victory in the age of anxiety
           A     E               D
A shining victory in the age of anxiety


[Outro]

A  Asus4
   I hope the band won't make me sing along
A  Asus4
   I hope the band won't make me sing along
A     Asus4
Oh... Oh
A     Asus4
Oh... Oh (The age of anxiety)
A                                        Asus4
Oh (I hope the band)...(I hope the band) Oh (I hope the band)
A                      Asus4
Oh (I hope the band)...Oh (I hope the band won't make me)
A     D
Whoa  whoa (I hope the band won't make me)
A     D
Whoa  whoa (I hope the band won't make me)
A     D
Whoa  whoa (I hope the band won't make me)
A     D
Whoa  whoa (Love survives of us)
A     D
Whoa  whoa (Love survives of us)
A     D
Whoa  whoa (Love survives of us)
A     D
Whoa  whoa (Love survives of us)
