F

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Am            C                   F
  Blacken the sky and sharpen the axe
Am              C                 F
  Forever cursed to live unrelaxed
Am                 Bb  C              Dm
  We make no bones,  a house is not a home
          C                      Bb F
And a home is nowhere we can stay

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Am                 C                       F
  Dodged the draft, but can't dodge the war
Am              C                F
  Forever cursed to live insecure
Am                  Bb  C                 Dm
  The curtain drops,  a gang of Gen X cops  assembles
C                            Bb F
Trembling before our human na__ture

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Gm                      F
  It wasn't built for me
Gm     Dm          C
  It's your academy
Bb               F    C                Dm
  But in my time, you taught me how to see
C                             Bb     F
 Each generation makes its own  apology

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Am             C          F
  Welcome back, my oldest friend
Am              C                F
  Are you cursed to depart again?
Am                    Bb C               Dm
  Your ways and means,  eternally obscene
           C                           Bb F
And always looking for obscenity and ha__tred

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Gm                      F
  It wasn't built for me
Gm     Dm          C
  It's your academy
Bb               F    C                Dm
  But in my time, you taught me how to see
C                             Bb     F Am C
 Each generation makes its own  apology

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
Gm                      F
  It wasn't built for me
Gm     Dm          C
  It's your academy
Bb               F    C            Dbdim      Dm
  But in my time, you taught me how     to see
C                             Bb       F
 Each generation makes its own  apology

[Outro]
---------------------
Bb          F        C              Dm
  It's by design and consequentially
C                             Bb     F
 Each generation makes its own  apology
