Eb Bb
Come, tell me your trouble
Ab
I'm not your answer
Eb
But I'm a listening ear
Eb Bb
Reality has left you reeling
Ab
All facts and no feeling
Eb
No faith and all fear
Fm
I don't know why a good man will fall
Cm
While a wicked one stands
Fm
And our lives blow about
Bb
Like flags on the land
Eb Bb
Who's at fault is not important
Ab
Good intentions lie dormant
Eb
And we're all to blame
Eb Bb
While apathy acts like an ally
Ab Eb
My enemy and I are one and the same
Fm
I don't know why the innocents fall
Cm
While the monsters still stand
Fm
And our lives blow about
Bb
Like flags on the land

Fm
I don't know why our words are so proud
Cm
Yet their promise so thin

And our lives blow about

Like flags in the wind
