Asus4               Am
Sitting in my room painting the world
Asus4            Am
And the kids are not alright
Gsus4           G
Good England thrown to the wolves
Gsus4            G
And the lunatics taking over

Heaven I found under my demons
And the smoking gun that you found
Lying on the ground

F
I'm just sitting painting the world
G                          Am
And the kids are not alright

Chorus:
D                     F
When I don't have a choice
G                      A#
That's when I find my voice
D                  F G                   A#
I'm not trying to be what you want me to be
I'm not your friend, I'm your Queen
You're quickly losing your scene
A
I'm not trying to be what you want me to be
D F
Woah (woah woah)
G A#
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah
The kids are not alright

Standing up in front of a mountain
And I don't want to fight
The clouds answer to no one
They don't need the sun

The streets are dark and the gas light leads me
Soon I'm out of sight
Howling back
Back at the moon

I'm just sitting painting the world
And the kids are not alright

Chorus

Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah
The kids are not alright
