Intro : D F#m D F#m
D
Wait a minute let me speak,
                                               E
let me share the grief that lies behind your smile.
D
There's people turning bad feeling sad, misunderstanding,
                       E
And the world's going mad.
D                                          E
You watch TV, and you shake your tortured head.
A
And I watch the world,
          E
And I really think we might be better off.

CHORUS
C#m                                  Bm
Father, you've been a long time so lonely,
                C#m
Hear me now, Father,
                         D               E
You've got a stake in my soul, so console me.
    F#m        E         F#m
I need it now, we need it now.


D
Genocide reveals the foulest swoop,
                                               E
The sweetest lips received the soured fruit again,
D
A killer swears he's just a thief,
                                         E
A thief declares he's just a victim of kinds.
A                                            E
And I watch the world, and there really isn't more to life than dying.

CHORUS

Solo C#m & Bm on chords : D (A)-E x3

A
And I watch the world,
