Capo 1st fret 

D                     A 
Come, tell me your trouble 
                G 
I'm not your answer 
                   D 
But I'm a listening ear 

D                       A 
Reality has left you reeling 
                     G 
All facts and no feeling 
                    D 
No faith and all fear 

Em 
I don't know why a good man will fall 
Bm 
While a wicked one stands 
Em 
And our lives blow about 
                 A 
Like flags on the land 

D                         A 
Who's at fault is not important 
                       G 
Good intentions lie dormant 
                   D 
And we're all to blame 

 D                         A 
While apathy acts like an ally 
               G             D 
My enemy and I are one and the same 

Em 
I don't know why the innocents fall 
Bm 
While the monsters still stand 
Em 
And our lives blow about 
                   A 
Like flags on the land 

Em 
I don't know why our words are so proud 
Bm 
Yet their promise so thin 
Em 
And our lives blow about 
                   A 
Like flags in the wind 

Instrumental: Em Bm Em Bm  Em Bm Em A 

G                         D 
You who mourn will be comforted 
          A                  Em 
You who hunger will hunger no more 
G                      D 
All the last shall be first 
              A 
Of this I am sure 

G                            D 
You who weep now will laugh again 
         A                   Em 
All you lonely be lonely no more 
G                       D 
Yes, the last will be first 
            A 
Of this I'm sure 
  
Em 
I don't know why the innocents fall 
Bm 
While the monsters stand 
Em 
I don't know why the little ones thirst 
G             A              Em 
But I know the last shall be first 
G             A          Em 
I know the last shall be first 
G             A                D 
I know the last shall be first
