[Verse 1]
Bm
War, a war, a war on the far side
Cmaj7                       Bm
On the other side of the planet
             Bm
And I've got war, a war, a war right behind my eyes
Cmaj7                            Bm
Right behind 'em just like a headache
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     Gmaj7 F#m
So I turn  on the news
Gmaj7 F#7
Turn  off the news
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm                                    A
  Every second, our collective hearts break
                                G
All together, every single head shakes
                                 Em
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
 
Turn on, turn off the news
Bm                                    A
  Every second, our collective hearts break
                                G
All together, every single head shakes
                                 A
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
 
Turn on, turn off the news
 
 
[Verse 2]
Bm
Far, I'm far, so far from the frontline
Cmaj7                          Bm
Quite the opposite, I'm safe inside
      Bm
But I worry and I give money and I feel useless behind this computer
                Cmaj7                              Bm
And that's just barely scratched the surface of my mind
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     Gmaj7 F#m
So I turn  on the news
Gmaj7 F#7
Turn  off the news
Gmaj7 F#m
Turn  on the news
Gmaj7 F#7
Turn  off the news
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm                                    A
  Every second, our collective hearts break
                                G
All together, every single head shakes
                                 Em
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
 
Turn on, turn off the news
Bm                                    A
  Every second, our collective hearts break
                                G
All together, every single head shakes
                                 A
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
 
Turn on, turn off the news
 
 
[Bridge]
Bm
Exploitative, performative
Bm
Informative and we don't know the half of it
Bm
It's restorable, deplorable
Bm
Exorable and, all alone, we call it normal
Bm
Exploitative, performative
Bm
Informative and we don't know the half of it
Bm
Restorable, deplorable
Bm
Exorable and, all alone, we call it normal
N.C.
All alone, we call it normal
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm                                    A
  Every second, our collective hearts break
                                G
All together, every single head shakes
                                 Em
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
 
Turn on, turn off the news
Bm                                    A
  Every second, our collective hearts break

All together, every single head shakes
                                 A
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
              F#
Turn on, turn off the news
              War, a war, a war on the far side
On the other side of the planet
And I've got war, a war, a war right behind my eyes
Right behind 'em just like a headache

So I turn on (The news)
Turn off (The news)

Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news
Every second, our collective heart brеaks
All together, evеry single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news

Far, I'm far, so far from the frontline
Quite the opposite, I'm safe inside
But I worry and I give money and I feel useless behind this computer
And that's just barely scratched the surface of my mind

So I turn on (The news)
Turn off (The news)
Turn on (The news)
Turn off (The news)

Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news
Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news

Exploitative, performative
Informative and we don't know the half of it
Rhetorical, deplorable
Historical, and all along, we called it normal
Exploitative, performative
Informative and we don't know the half of it
Rhetorical, deplorable
Historical, and all along, we called it normal
All along we called it normal

Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news
Every second, our collective heart breaks
All together, every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off the news
