Chords, intro:  F, C, F, C, F, C, Dm x2

F                              C
At the first sing of hardship, many bite the hand that feeds
F                              C
And when there's trouble, oh, they simply cut and run
F                              C
And when there's fear, a man will slit the throat of his neighbor
Dm
In a desperate search for comfort and love

F                C
Don't tear us apart [x4]
F                 C                            Dm
Will you show us, some hidin' in this trouble, here where it starts
Dm
You won't tear us apart

F, C, F, C along with the intro

F                              C
When your spirits are down and you've lost your way
F                              C
And man's character once again falls on its face
F                              C
Will somebody please come, aid those helpless in need
Dm
And renew our faith in this human race

F                C
Don't tear us apart [x4]
F                 C                            Dm
Will you show us, some hidin' in this trouble, here where it starts
Dm
You won't tear us apart
