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
