Tell Me Why

F#m          A                D                              C#
In my dream, children sing a song of love for every boy and girl.
F#m                  A                    D                               C#
The sky is blue and fields are green and laughter is the language of the world.
  D                    E        D                       C#
Then I wake and all I see is a world full of people in need.

[Chorus]
        F#m                A
Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this?
         D                 C#
Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
        F#m           A                          D
Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand.
         D                        C#
When so many need somebody. don't give a helping hand.
        F#m
Tell me why?

[Verse 2]
F#m          A               D                        C#
Every day I ask myself what will I have to do to be a man?
F#m            A                  D                      C#
Do I have to stand and fight to prove to everybody who I am?
D                        E      D                       C#
Is that what my life is for to waste in a world full of war?

[Chorus]
        F#m                A
Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this?
         D                 C#
Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
        F#m           A                          D
Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand.
         D                        C#
When so many need somebody. don't give a helping hand.
        F#m
Tell me why?
