♫ Verse :
A minorAm
Oh, Little Billy's got a gun
           E7E7
Little Billy's having fun
A minorAm
Shooting bottles on the wall
                E7E7
Dreams the hero come home from war

♫ Pre-Chorus:
DmDm
Is this real?
Is this make believe?
A7A7
You'd think we'd know how everything's supposed to be
DmDm
Like a train blowing full steam ahead
A7A7
Can't hear what you're saying
With everybody screaming

A minorAm  G+G  D/F#D/F# G+G
To believe is blind
A minorAm     G+G   D/F#D/F#  G+G
Don't sacrifice another child
A minorAm  G+G D/F#D/F#    G+G
It's not black and white
A minorAm       G+G         A minorAm
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"

Instrumental Part:
Bm7Bm7 - E7E7

♫ Verse :
A minorAm
The truth might not be crystal clear
                          E7E7
But if might is right, there's no room for love in here
A minorAm
Oh, we pray to God and hope he's listening
                    E7E7
Then a man with a gun brings the demons in

♫ Pre-Chorus:
DmDm
Oh, we live as if our hands are tied
A7A7
But is it really so hard
To do what we know is right?
DmDm
To protect the things
That we hold dear
A7A7
Must we do things that we should never forgive?

Don't let go, baby, hold on tight

Instrumental Part:

♫ Bridge:
DmDm
Run and hide
Don't ask why
                   A7A7
Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes
DmDm
When it's too late to untwist the knife
A7A7
How do we face hatred with the love inside us?

♫ Chorus:
