Is there an evil in this world?

Yes, there's an evil in this world
      DmDm
Is there an?evil?in this world?
         A minorAm
Yes,?there's an evil in this world
    DmDm   E minorEm      FF
And?it creeps up from behind you
            A minorAm
When you are least suspectin'

Verse 2:
      A minorAm
Is there a dog in this race?

Yes, there's a dog in this race
    DmDm
I'm lookin' at his tail
          A minorAm
But I'm thinkin' about his face
   DmDm         E minorEm
So I keep on pushin' forward
 FF         A minorAm
Acquirin' and collectin'

       DmDm   E minorEm
Is there an absolute beginnin'
   FF
Or something beyond the end?
      DmDm      E minorEm
Will I come back as that dog?
        FF
Will I have to live through this again?
   DmDm      E minorEm
The truth seeps out between us
    FF             A minorAm
In the spaces that we're neglecting

DmDm E minorEm FF   A minorAm

Verse 3:
   A minorAm
When push comes to shove

And our devils come at us running
      DmDm
Will we be caught in the flood
            A minorAm
Or something far less stunning?
      DmDm       E minorEm
Will that serum keep us honest
     FF          A minorAm
From the answers we're deflecting?

Verse 4:
      A minorAm
There's a voice within the void

And I swear it sounds familiar
        DmDm
Within the truths that we've destroyed
          A minorAm
Whisperin', "Come here"
     DmDm       E minorEm
And the answer is within you
    FF          A minorAm
But it keeps on disconnecting

      DmDm      E minorEm
There's an evil in this world
    FF
I've seen it in the news
   DmDm    E minorEm
Of babies dead in schools
   FF
Or scattered in the pews
   DmDm        E minorEm
For reasons without answers
   FF          A minorAm
In the dark, beyond protection

Verse 5:
      A minorAm
I'm moving through the void

Starin' down the fright show
   DmDm
Standin' in the darkness
              A minorAm
Just waiting for the light show
  DmDm       E minorEm
I try with all my might
      FF            A minorAm
To seek the truth you've been rejecting

Verse 6:
   A minorAm
Seeking some salvation

To the limits of my talents
  DmDm
I hold my family close
              A minorAm
Just tryin' to find the balance
       DmDm      E minorEm
Between the bad shit goin' down
  FF                  A minorAm
And the beauty this life can keep injecting

      DmDm      E minorEm
There's a whiplash in the news
  FF
The evil man's tirades
   DmDm    E minorEm
A augmentedA joker's motorcade
FF
And military parades
   DmDm     E minorEm      FF
Lives in the balance of the dirty deals made
       A minorAm
To win elections

Outro:
DmDm     E minorEm    FF
Guns and ammunition, babies in a cage
     DmDm       E minorEm
They say nothing can be done
     FF
But they tell us how they prayed
    DmDm       E minorEm        FF
In the end, we're just standin' watchin' greatness fade

    A minorAm
Into darkness
     A minorAm
Awaiting resurrection
