  Eb              (Bb) Cm                (Bb)     Eb
   The streets of the future littered with remains
          (Bb) Cm           (Bb)           Eb
  Of both the fools and the so-called brains
            (Bb) Cm            (Bb)     Eb
  The whole prediction is enough to kill
          (Bb)  Cm                     Bb    Ab
  But only God knows if it won't or it will
  
  Bb           Ab/Bb Eb/Bb F/Bb Bb    Ab/Bb
  Nobody knows why we fell so   flat
  Bb         Ab/Bb    Bb        Eb/Bb F/Bb Bb   Ab/Bb
  Some silly creature said we'd never      crack
  Bb             Ab/Bb   Eb/Bb    F/Bb        Cm
  But most would just survive and then bounce back
          F/A         G/B           Cm       Fm   Eb/G
  But the rest are crying, "Why'd I fall for that crap"
  Ab        Bbsus4   Eb
  Why did I fall for that?
  
  So many rash promises sincerly made
  By people who believed that we were being saved
  They made us all believe that we were acting white
  But truth is we've forgotten how we used to fight
  
  Nobody knows why we fell so flat
  We're impotent and neutered like whining cats
  We've found the piper but we've lost the rats
  But the kids are crying, "Why'd you fall for that, dad?"
  Why did you fall?

  Four minutes to midnight on a sunny day
  Maybe if we smile the clock'll fade away
  Maybe we can force the hands to just reverse
  Maybe is a word, maybe maybe's a curse
  
  Nobody knows why we fell so flat
  We've never been taught to fight or face up to facts
  We simply believe that we'd remain intact
  But history is asking "Why did you fall for that?"
  Why did you fall?
  
  Bm             A   D      A
  Why did I fall for that
  Why did I fall for that
  Why did I fall for that
