Am             F                              Dm
   A dinosaur, wonders why it's still on the earth, yeah
Am           F                       Dm
   A meteor, promises it's not gonna hit, yeah

In the darkness where we learn to see
         Am             C  
When the lights go out, don't you ever doubt
    Dm                       F  Em
The light that we can really be

   We had it all, and what we had is not coming back, Zach
Am                        F                           Dm  
   The big mouth says the people, they don't wanna be free for free
Am                  F                   Dm  
   The Blackout, is this an extinction event we see
