INTRO:
E F#m E F#m G#m F#m G#m A
EI came home from school on Tuesday
F#mTo find my mother gone
EWhy she left I'll never know
F#mIt seemed like they got along
G#mBut one of thF#mese days I'd like to know
G#mJust where Ait all went wrong
EA woman torn to tears asks
F#mWho the real criminals are
Or wEhen they told 'er her husband died
FightiF#mng in another country's drug wars
She Esaid it isn't the kids on the streets without a dream
F#mShooting up the dealer's smack
It'sE them a red-tape politicians
DigginF#mg on the drug lords kick-backs
G#mIsn't it fuF#mnny what power and money
G#mCan do to tAhe soul of a man'
And give meE something to believe in
If tF#mhere's a lord above
I give mEe something to believe in
F#mIf there's a lord above
EHe got a second job at night now
F#mJust to help pay the bills
EAnd there he worked for the rest of his life
CuzF#m his wife had taken him in
NowE he lives on a bottle of courage
F#mHe buys at the liquor store
EHe did his family real good
TilF#ml he couldn't do it anymore
G#mWhatever F#mhe found, why he broke down
G#mNo one's Areally sure
Just needeEd something to believe in
If tF#mhere's a lord above
He needed sEomething to believe in
OhF#m lord arise
The trG#macks of sociF#mety's racial on the old man's face
G#mHis eyes blooAd red lay to waste

Well tEhe mirror tells a different story
Than F#mthe one that's playin' in my mind
EvEery time I swear I'm lookin' younger
The mF#more lines that I find
I guesEs I learned to trade youth for wisdom
AndF#m lust in for romance
EIt's all written in the stages and phases
OfF#m life's little dance
And whG#men I wannF#ma bitch about growin' old
G#mI think of how mAany never had a chance
It gives mEe something to believe in
OhF#m lord aErisF#me (x4E) F#m
G#mSometimes IF#m wish I didn't know now
G#mThings I didAn't kEnowF#m thenG#m A
And give mEe something to believe in
