There’s gotta be a way around everything
G              D                        Em                   X
I gotta know so you have to start walking away
G       D                                  Em
It’s not physical or criminal, its not political anyway
G       D
Stop getting confused now
X
Or making your rules now

G           D                                  X
We’ve given you voices and given you choices
         D
And they say

   D                     G
Why? Why do our children cry?
                      X
Why do our children cry?
 D
Yeah

G                          D                               Em
And everybody does what it takes to ease the pain.
G                   D
We’re better off alone and we know it
                  Em                     X
But its a difficult thing to do
G                             D
Cheat or chose or win or lose
Em                                       X
Everybody’s in on it anyway
G          D                                              X
Hell, why do we care when there’s chemical warfare?
G          D                                  X                                   D
It’s ironic to say when we’re stuck in the system anyway

D                                             G
Why? Why do the people pray?
                    X
Why do the people pray?
D
Ooh

And everybody knows
                                                        Am
We cannot change it but we’re close
X         G               X       Am
And I hear them calling me
               X                                              E                   D

Am                              X       G
There never gonna listen    Oh no
Am                               X    G
Who’s it you’re missing?   Oh No
Am                                      X      G
Tell me where’s your prison.      I know x2

Am                            X         G
I know because I listen.       I know x3
Am                              X         G                   Am
I hear them cause I listen and now I know.
