Tears chords by Jericho Mclean

Verse 1:

  Aadd9                           Gadd9
I cry, for all of those who died

Gadd9                       Aadd9
Not for the colour of their skin

Aadd9                       Gadd9
Not for perception of their sin

Gadd9                          D
Not for a war they’re fighting in

D                                 Cadd9
Just for the place where they had been
D Cadd9 D F
D Cadd9 D F

Verse 2:

  Aadd9                        Gadd9
I cry, because no one tells me why

Gadd9                       Aadd9
Cry for the fanning of the flames

Aadd9                      Gadd9
Cry for the passing of the blame

Gadd9                    D
Cry for the policies of shame

D                         Cadd9
And circumstances unexplained
D Cadd9 D F

Verse 3:

     Aadd9                      Gadd9
Ask why, ask why so many people lie

Gadd9                         Aadd9
Why they distort what’s happening

Aadd9                      Gadd9
Why they must cover up the scene

Gadd9                          D
And hide the truth of what has been

D                             Cadd9
When what was real is just obscene
D Cadd9 D F
D Cadd9 D F

Verse 4:

     Aadd9                       Gadd9
I cry, because I know eye for an eye

Gadd9                     Aadd9
Will make it worse, exacerbate

Aadd9                        Gadd9
Mistrust, suspicion and more hate

Gadd9                   D
I have to watch it escalate

D                  Cadd9
Into a cataclysmic state
D Cadd9 D F
D Cadd9 D F

Verse 5:

  Aadd9                              Gadd9
I cry, I cry for those who’ve yet to die

Gadd9                      Aadd9
I cry because it’s not the end

Aadd9                       Gadd9
Some wounds may never get to mend

Gadd9                      D
‘Cause no-one knows how to defend

D                 Cadd9
Against imaginary friends
D Cadd9 D F
D Cadd9 D F


  A
I cry
