C*        B*
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie
Bb*      A*
Where have you been?
C*       B*
Bruises on your body
 Bb*         A*
A augmentedA flesh wound on your chin
        C*      B*
Why won't they do something?
        Bb*     A*
Why won't they do something?
     AbAb   Bb majorBb  C minorCm
Why won't anyone do something?

    C*       B*
You're calling out for mummy
  Bb*      A*
But there's no one there
  C*        B*
And now you're all surrounded
  Bb*    A*
But no one can hear
        C*      B*
When will they do something?
        Bb*     A*
Why won't they do something?
     AbAb   Bb majorBb  C minorCm
When will anyone do something?


[Chorus]
Eb MajorEb       G+G

  C minorCm
Who wants to live in vain?
AbAb          Bb majorBb
 But they won't ever listen
  Eb MajorEb       G+G   C minorCm
I'm waiting for the sun to take away the rain
     AbAb     Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
Singing "it's gonna be okay"

C* B* Bb* A*
C* B* Bb* A*


[Verse]
  C*        B*
You lost the grip of her hand
    Bb*       A*
As the gun fell to the ground
   C*        B*
It's hard to slip and then land
    Bb*    A*
Without making any sound
        C*      B*
Why won't they do something?
        Bb*     A*
Why won't they do something?
     AbAb   Bb majorBb  C minorCm
Why won't anyone do something?

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie
Bb*      A*
Where have you been?
   C*        B*       Bb*  A*
Went looking for your ethics in the recycle bin
        C*      B*
When will they do something?
        Bb*     A*
Why won't they do something?
     AbAb   Bb majorBb  C minorCm
When will anyone do something?


[Chorus]

I'm waiting for the sun to take away the rain

Singing "it's gonna be okay"
     AbAb     Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
Singing "it's gonna be okay"


[Bridge]
  C*         B*
The tallest trees will tell you
     Bb*        A*
I wasn't like this from the start
  C*      B*
But if you really love me,
    Bb*       A*
Lock me up when it gets dark
   C*        B*
I've been inside this body
  Bb*     A*
For twenty-seven years
 AbAb
I know they stole my laughter
     G+G
They will never get my tears


[Chorus]
Eb MajorEb       G+G
Try to leave a mark
  C minorCm
Who wants to live in vain?
AbAb        Bb majorBb
 But no one ever listens
  Eb MajorEb       G+G   C minorCm
I'm waiting for the sun to take away the rain
     AbAb     Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
Singing "it's gonna be okay"
     AbAb     Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
Singing "it's gonna be okay"
