[Verse 1]
            Am
I've got the 21st century survival blues
   Am7/G
A condition brought on by watching the news
Dm7
Things have been quiet for far too long
E7
And if I know human beings, things are gonna go wrong
        Am
We were raised in a glade of unsustainable peace
Am7/G
Not many of us ever have to live on our knees
Dm
I'm scared that I won't have the strength that it takes
         E7
To stand up when the levee breaks


[Chorus]
              F                       G
So meet me at home when the sirens go off
                 E7                     Am
I don't wanna be alone so don't you get lost
          F                             G
I know a place where the two of us can hide
                      E7                     Am
We can barricade the door and we'd be safe inside
                      F                       G
When the harsh winds blow and the world gets cold
                 E7                        Am
You can't trust kindness and you can't eat gold
                   F                 G
I've got the 21st century survival blues
                      E7
But to tell you the truth I just need you


[Verse 2]
              Am
I've got the 21st century survival blues
      Am7/G
A generation raised up without paying its dues
  Dm7
Comfortable enough to play around with doubt
          E7
Without knowing how to survive when the lights go out
           Am
And if we take away the things that they've been depending on
          Am7/G
We'll be flailing like children in a nursery home
       Dm7
So I started making lists of the essential things
               E7
For when the storms bring what they bring


[Chorus]
              F                       G
So meet me at home when the sirens go off
                 E7                     Am
I don't wanna be alone so don't you get lost
          F                             G
I know a place where the two of us can hide
                      E7                     Am
We can barricade the door and we'd be safe inside
                      F                       G
When the harsh winds blow and the world gets cold
                 E7                        Am
You can't trust kindness and you can't eat gold
                   F                 G
I've got the 21st century survival blues
                      E7
But to tell you the truth
             F C G Am F C E7 Am
I just need you-you
             F C G Am F C E7 Am
I just need you-you


F   D/F#
F   D/F#


[Verse 3]
F
I've got the 21st century survival blues
D7/F#
I've got shelter, drinking water I've got cupboards of food
F
And I know I can survive in my apocalypse home
D7/F#                                                        
But what's the point of surviving if you're just surviving alone


[Chorus]
              F                       G
So meet me at home when the sirens go off
                 E7                     Am
I don't wanna be alone so don't you get lost
          F                             G
I know a place where the two of us can hide
                      E7                     Am
We can barricade the door and we'd be safe inside
                      F                       G
When the harsh winds blow and the world gets cold
                 E7                         Am
You can't trust kindness and you can't eat gold
                   F                 G
I've got the 21st century survival blues
                      E7
But to tell you the truth, let me tell you the truth
             F C G Am F C E7 Am
I just need you-you
             F C G Am F C E7 Am
I just need you-you
