I walk the streets alone here, I go with head hung down 
   F#m               G                   Bm              F#m 
The heavens laugh so hard at me that I cannot bear the sound 
   D             A          D           A 
A home to every lonely, an ear to every cry 
  F#m           G            Bm              F#m 
An eye to every suffering and lost to reasons why

And of all the awful things I’ve heard 
Bm                     F#m 
The worst must be those terrible words 
   G               A 
If I don’t do it, that man will 
   G         A         A 
Be it steal, rape or kill

'Though how and when this start was made, I truly cannot tell 
 D                    A              D             A 
I’ve loved and I have been loved, I was not always true

And at times I feel to stay alone, Is the honest thing to do 


[Refrão]
D                 A 
Still in all I’ve best conceived 
Bm                F#m 
That I did fall in fleshy need 
 G               A 
And taking water laced with sin 
   G               A         A 
Seen what love is up against

I search all day for answers, and nothing ever helps 
 D                    A         D            A 
I don’t believe the stories of high and holy ghosts 
 F#m                   G            Bm                F#m 
And if anything should matter, then what should matter most? 
 

[Refrão]
D                 A 
To the thought I will abide 
Bm                    F#m 
That hate is foolish, love is wise 
G               A 
Words the old man softly spoke 
G               A         A 
Left the world to live in hope
