Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

E minorEm  C majorC  E minorEm  C majorC


[Verse 1]

    E minorEm                       C majorC
See the child, dressed in rags in the street, cold and homeless
     E minorEm                  C majorC
Too weak to ask for just one scrap of food to survive
     D MajorD
War-torn lives shed their innocent blood on the pavement
   C majorC
As we all shake our heads from our ivory towers
    A augmentedA                 N.C.
Making righteous remarks as we're wasting the hours

[Chorus]

 E minorEm           D MajorD      C majorC
I hate what I see, but I can't look away
     E minorEm               D MajorD       C majorC
From the train-wreck we watch, from our armchairs each day
    G+G     D MajorD      FF      C majorC
Are we powerless pawns in the games people play
 A minorAm             B minorBm
I try and blind myself to the pain
      N.C. B minorBm  N.C.  E minorEm       C majorC  E minorEm  D MajorD A augmentedA
But I can't, no I can't, no I can't look away


[Verse 2]

    E minorEm                     C majorC
Kids in school, learning lessons in life, love and laughter
    E minorEm                      C majorC
Such precious jewels with a future so bright, dreams so tall
      D MajorD
An aimless soul, opens fire, rocks the world, makes his exit
   C majorC
As we wonder what force could have turned him so wild
    A augmentedA               N.C.
He was quiet, he was shy, he was somebody's child


[Chorus]

 E minorEm           D MajorD      C majorC
I hate what I see, but I can't look away
     E minorEm               D MajorD       C majorC
From the train-wreck we watch, from our armchairs each day
    G+G     D MajorD      FF      C majorC
Are we powerless pawns in the games people play
 A minorAm             B minorBm
I try and blind myself to the pain
C majorC              B minorBm
Disconnect my heart from my brain
      N.C. B minorBm  N.C.    C majorC
But I can't, no I can't, no I can't look away

[Bridge]

        D MajorD
We can't stand idly by
         C majorC
No, we can't look away
         D MajorD
And let one more child die, no


[Instrumental]

E minorEm   D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm   D MajorD


[Verse 3]

   C majorC
As we all shake our heads from our ivory towers
    A augmentedA                 N.C.
Making righteous remarks as we're wasting the hours


[Chorus]

 E minorEm           D MajorD      C majorC
I hate what I see, but I can't look away
     E minorEm               D MajorD       C majorC
From the train-wreck we watch, from our armchairs each day
    G+G     D MajorD      FF      C majorC
Are we powerless pawns in the games people play
 A minorAm             B minorBm
I try and blind myself to the pain
C majorC              B minorBm
Disconnect my heart from my brain
     A minorAm             B minorBm
If we're gonna change a world gone insane
      N.C.   B minorBm  N.C.   E minorEm
We just can't, no we can't, no I can't look away


[Outro]
