G G7 C
Life was filled with guns and war, and everyone got trampled on the floor
G D C D
I wish we’d all been ready
G G7 C
Children died, the days grew cold, a piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
G D C D
I wish we’d all been ready

(Chorus)
C G F C G G/C
There’s no time to change your mind, the Son has come, and you’ve been left behind

G G7 C
A man and wife asleep in bed, she hears a noise, and turns her head, he’s gone
G D C D
I wish we’d all been ready
G G7 C
Two men walking up a hill, one disappears, and one’s left standing still
G D C D
I wish we’d all been ready

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

La, la, la, la, la…

(Repeat 1st verse)

C G F Am
There’s no time to change your mind, how could you have been so blind
C G F C G
The Father spoke, the demons dined, the Son has come, and you’ve been left behind
C G
You’ve been left behind (repeat twice)
