Oh, Little Billy's got a gun
                      E7
Little Billy's having fun
Am
Shooting bottles on the wall
                               E7
Dreams the hero come home from war

♫ Pre-Chorus:
Dm
Is this real?
Is this make believe?
A7
You'd think we'd know how everything's supposed to be
Dm
Like a train blowing full steam ahead
A7
Can't hear what you're saying
With everybody screaming

♫ Chorus:
Am    G   D/F#     G
I'm afraid, can't lie
Am     G          D/F#        G
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
Am      G   D/F#     G
In the dark, be the light
Am        G          Am
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
Am   G    D/F#  G
To believe is blind
Am          G     D/F#    G
Don't sacrifice another child
Am    G  D/F#        G
It's not black and white
Am             G                 Am
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"

Bm7 - E7



♫ Verse :
Am
The truth might not be crystal clear
                                                    E7
But if might is right, there's no room for love in here
Am
Oh, we pray to God and hope he's listening
                                        E7
Then a man with a gun brings the demons in

♫ Pre-Chorus:
Dm
Oh, we live as if our hands are tied
A7
But is it really so hard
To do what we know is right?
Dm
To protect the things
That we hold dear
A7
Must we do things that we should never forgive?

♫ Chorus:
Am    G   D/F#     G
I'm afraid, can't lie
Am     G          D/F#        G
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
Am      G   D/F#     G
In the dark, be the light
Am        G          Am
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
Am   G    D/F#  G
To believe is blind
Am          G     D/F#    G
Don't sacrifice another child
Am    G  D/F#        G
It's not black and white
Am             G                 Am
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"

♫ Bridge:
Dm
Run and hide
Don't ask why
                                     A7
Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes
Dm
When it's too late to untwist the knife
A7
How do we face hatred with the love inside us?

♫ Chorus:
Am    G   D/F#     G
