Best selling British single from deliriou5, reached No.20 in the
billboard charts.
Valvey distortion neccessary, reduce for verse or play softer so that
the signal breaks up less.
INTRO:
What ever happened? [sample]
G / Em7#9 / A x2
G / Em7#9 / A / C
VERSE:
G /Em(7#9) [Let ring]
Did I wipe the tear, or did I spit in your face?
Did I point the finger or give the hand of grace?
Oh wChy..F.does it coEm(7#9)me to this?
[Strike chords once]
Em7(#9)Is it freedom that you want, or are the chains iAn your head?
CaEmn a man play God, when He mAade his own bed?
Oh Cwhy...Fdoes it coEmme to this?
CHORUS:
G / Em7#9 A
Whatever happened to the love that you made?
G / Em7#9 A
Whatever happened to the prayer that you prayed?
G / Em7#9 A C
Whatever happens to a promise these days?
VERSE:[Play each note of the chord, upwards]
Did theEm7 Earth disappear, when you tolAd of the truth,
Of the Em7lands you would conquer, of the Amountains you'd move?
Oh whCy...Fdoes it come to Emthis?
[As before]
Did you covenant or live the dream in your head?
Would you die for her or rather raise the dead?
Oh when...will I learn from this?
