[Verso 1]
 
G 
Grandpa, tell me stories 
       Em 
From the days before the fall. 
         C 
When the shadows first were rising, 
       G                 D 
Did you hear their early call? 
 


[Verso 2]
 
            G 
He said, They came with loud convictions, 
        Em 
Promises of brighter days. 
         C 
But hope can turn to blindness 
           G                    D 
When youre caught inside their haze. 
 


[Refrão]
 
          G 
How does a world turn dark so fast? 
 D          Em 
How do the innocent get swept past? 
       C 
Grandpa, help me understand 
              G                D 
The weight you carried in your hands. 
             Em 
Tell me how a boy grows old 
                C        G 
With memories he cant release. 

G   D 
 


[Verso 3]
 
     G 
The war began like thunder 
        Em 
Sudden, sharp, and full of fire. 
            C 
Dreams went quiet overnight, 
       G              D 
Taken hostage by desire. 
 


[Verso 4]
 
    G 
We learned the cost of silence, 
        Em 
What fear can make you lose. 
       C 
So listen to your heart, my boy 
             G                 D 
Truth is something you must choose.

Grandpa, help me understand 
              G                D 
The weight you carried in your hands. 
             Em 
Tell me how a boy grows old 
                   C        G 
With memories he cant release.

Your kindness shapes our history.

Let us fight for a better world 
   D 
for better place to be

          Am 
How does a world turn dark so fast? 
          Em 
How do we keep the light to last? 
           C 
Grandpa, stay and help me find 
        G                  D 
A braver heart, a clearer mind. 
                Em 
Grandpa, tell me how to hold 
         C                   G 
A broken truthand keep us free.
