       C                                    F
You're angry but you don't know how to be that yet
    C                                   F
It seems too much went wrong and all at once
   C                              F
Resistance seems impossible from down this low
     C                                 F
And surely no one else can feel like this

    F
But on the streets
         C             Dm
You can see them gathering
    F
And in your heart
      C                  Dm
You know they feel like you do

Chorus:
C                      F
Sound and pulse and volume
Hands just reaching other hands
 C 
This is almost overload
F
I said almost overload
C                         F
Friends and foes and princes
Are all just human in the end
 C 
This is so damn simple, yeah
F                  C
It's so damn simple

So standing in the steady throne of restless hope
You don't feel like an outcast anymore
And something deep inside of you has waken up
And you know that nothing's gonna be the same again

And on the streets
You can see for what seems miles
Because in your heart
You know they feel like you do

Chorus

      C
Your mind won't be still
    F
It may not again
     C
You don't think it will
        F
But it will, it will
