INTRO:

A G D (X 4)

A                         D
People on the street now, faces long and grim
A                           D        G
Souls are feeling heavy and faith is growing thin
A                          D
Fears are getting stronger you can feel them on the rise
A                                           D
Hopelessness got some by the throat you can see it in their eyes
       A       G D   A       G D
I said how come       How come

A                          D
Everybody on a shoestring, everybody in a hole
A                             D                         G
Everybody on an old jet plane crossing their fingers and toes
A                       D
Government man spin his politics till they got you pinned
A
Everybody trying to reach out to each other
         D
But they don't know where to begin
CHORUS:
       A                          D
I said how come, I can't tell the free world from living hell
       A      G D
I said how come
A                       D
How come all I see is a child of god in misery
       A       G D    A  G D (X 2)
I said how come

A                          D
The pistol now as prophet, the bullet some kind of lord and king
    A                                  D                   G
But pain is the only promise that this so called savior is gonna bring
A                      D
Love can be a liar and justice can be a thief
A                                          D
And freedom can be an empty cup from which everybody want to drink

CHORUS:
       A                         D
I said how come I can't tell the free world from living hell
       A      G D
I said how come
A                       D
How come all i see is a child of God in misery
       A        G D
I said how come

          A
It's just man killing man
             D
Killing man, killing man, killing man
        A             G D
I don't understand it

          A
It's just man killing man
             D
Killing man, killing man, killing man
        A             G D
I don't understand it

          A
It's just man killing man
             D
Killing man, Killing man, Killing man
            A
Killing man, Killing man, Killing man
       D
Killing man, Killing man
        A                      D
I don't understand it, I don't understand it
        A                      D
I don't understand it, I don't understand it

A                D         A                D
How come, I said how come, How come, I said how come
