Verse1

DmDm               D12   DmDm
You can a look a hurricane right in the eye
          D12   DmDm
1200 people dead or left to die
 DmDm             Bb majorBb         DmDm
Follow the leaders, we're in an eye for an eye we'll all be blind

             Bb majorBb          DmDm      A augmentedA
Death for murder and this I'm sure in this uncertain time


Chorus

 DmDm                 Fmaj7Fmaj7
So come pull the sheet over my eyes

        Bb majorBb
So I can sleep tonight

 DmDm        C majorC
Despite what I've seen today

 DmDm           Fmaj7Fmaj7           Bb majorBb
I find you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time

 DmDm             C majorC
When you should have been wide awake

The poor and undefended left behind
                     Bb majorBb
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil

As if the whole world were blind
