Intro
[E] [F#m] [E] [F#m] [G#m] [F#m] [G#m] [A]
[E]I came home from school on Tuesday
[F#m]To find my mother gone
[E]Why she left I’ll never know
[F#m]It seemed like they got along
[G#m]But one of these days I’d like to [F#m]know
[G#m]Just where it all went wrong[A]
[E]A woman torn to tears asks
[F#m]Who the real criminals are
Or when they [E]told ‘er her husband died
Fighting in another [F#m]country’s drug wars
She said it [E]isn’t the kids on the streets without a dream
[F#m]Shooting up the dealer’s smack
It’s them a [E]red-tape politicians
Digging on the [F#m]drug lords kick-backs
[G#m]Isn’t it funny what power and [F#m]money
[G#m]Can do to the soul of a man?[A]
And give me something to believe in[E]
If there’s a [F#m]lord above
I give me something to believe [E]in
[F#m]If there’s a lord above
[E]He got a second job at night now
[F#m]Just to help pay the bills
[E]And there he worked for the rest of his life
Cuz his [F#m]wife had taken him in
Now he [E]lives on a bottle of courage
[F#m]He buys at the liquor store
[E]He did his family real good
Till he [F#m]couldn’t do it anymore
[G#m]Whatever he found, why [F#m]he broke down
[G#m]No one’s really sure[A]
Just needed something to believe in[E]
If there’s a [F#m]lord above
He needed something to believe in[E]
Oh lord [F#m]arise
The tracks of [G#m]society’s racial on the old man’s [F#m]face
[G#m]His eyes blood red lay to waste[A]

Well the [E]mirror tells a different story
Than the [F#m]one that’s playin’ in my mind
Every [E]time I swear I’m lookin’ younger
The more [F#m]lines that I find
I guess I [E]learned to trade youth for wisdom
And[F#m] lust in for romance
[E]It’s all written in the stages and phases
Of[F#m] life’s little dance
And when I [G#m]wanna bitch about [F#m]growin’ old
[G#m]I think of how many never had a chance[A]
It gives me something to believe in[E]
Oh lord [F#m]arise [E](x4)[F#m][E][F#m]
[G#m]Sometimes I wish I didn’t [F#m]know now
[G#m]Things I didn’t know [A]then[A][G#m][F#m][E]
And give me something to believe in[E]
