Dm                   Am
Oh, I don't know why people lie
    C                G
And I don't know why people die
Dm                  Am
Everytime I see you shout at me
         C                                   G  
Cause of all of the things in the world that I can't see

Dm                    Am
And what I think goes on in this world
      C                         G
For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl (kid)
            Dm                Am
Is that the more you earn the less you learn
          C                  G          
There's a fact in life where you (we) will burn

G                 Dm
And I never could believe it
      Am             C
And I never could be true
        G                   Dm
Father, things that mean so much to me
      Am                C
Don't mean that much to you
      G           Dm
And I never could believe the way 
    Am            C
You told me I was wrong
       G                    Dm
If I'm right and if you are simple sin
    Am               C
For God's sake I was wrong
 
Oh I don't know how I think this way
How you sit there looking at me all day
There's more to you than I can see
There's a shadow of a mother hanging over me
 
G                    Dm           Am              C
Oh I tell you out of heaven and I tell you out of hell
And I see your life in ruins, you're just earning that as well
And I cry out in my loneliness, well used to be your peace
But you'll never see my face again, oh I need words like these
