Am G C D6 D
[Verse 1]
Am G
Have I lost my touch?
C D6 D
I want to feel less fear
Am G
Where is the stirring of hope
C D6 D
Once I held so near?
Am G
This mournful wail
C D6 D
Has worn away so thin
Am G
Life is long if you're living it
C D6 D
But dread will blow in like the wind
[Chorus]
G
How can I explain
Cadd9
So that you will understand
G
How foolish it must be
Cadd9
To opine so openly?
G
Such a delicate life
Cadd9
So full of tragedy
G
Why do we continue to treat
Cadd9
Each other so savagely?
[Instrumental]
Am G C D6 D x2
[Verse 2]
Am G
Pills don't seem to work
C D6 D
We're lost at the bottom of the sea
Am G
Our bones are searching for something else
C D6 D
Tired of the flesh that they see
Am G C D6 D
I never thought that I'd grow up to be
Am G
Another face in the crowd
C D6 D
On the wrong side of history
[Chorus]
G
How can I explain
Cadd9
So that you will understand
G
How foolish it must be
Cadd9
To opine so openly?
G
Such a delicate life
Cadd9
So full of tragedy
G
Why do we continue to treat
Cadd9
Each other so savagely?
[Outro]
Am G C D6 D
Oh, oh...
Am G C D6 D
Oh, oh...
