Standard Tuning

Intro: 2 measures instrumental

Verse:
		     
Oh, I don't know why people lie
    		     
and I don't know why people die
		    
EVerytime I see you shout at me
	 				     	
cause of all of the things in the world that I can't see

Pre Chorus: (2nd verse, substitute words in parentheses)
		      
And what I think goes on in this world
      				
for a mother and a father and a boy and a girl (kid)
	    		      
is that the more you earn the less you learn
	  		     		
there's a fact in life where you (we) will burn

Chorus:
		  
And I never could believe it
      	     
and I never could be true
			    
father, things that mean so much to me
      		
don't mean that much to you
      		  
and I never could believe the way 
    		  
you told me I was wrong
       		    
if I'm right and if you are simple sin
    		     
for God's sake I was wrong

2 measures instrumental:    

Verse:
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

Outro Chorus:
		     		  		  
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
