Verse:

D                 A              D                 A
I walk the streets alone here, I go with head hung down

   F#m               G                   Bm              F#m
The heavens laugh so hard at me that I cannot bear the sound

   D             A          D           A
A home to every lonely, an ear to every cry

  F#m           G            Bm              F#m
An eye to every suffering and lost to reasons why

Chorus:

D                    A
And of all the awful things I’ve heard

Bm                     F#m
The worst must be those terrible words

G               A
If I don’t do it, that man will

   G         A         A
Be it steal, rape or kill

Verse 2:  

   D             A           D                 A
I strive to be a good man, I know it serves me well

   F#m                   G                Bm             F#m
'Though how and when this start was made, I truly cannot tell

 D                    A              D             A
I’ve loved and I have been loved, I was not always true

    F#m                 G                Bm             F#m
And at times I feel to stay alone, Is the honest thing to do

Chorus:

D                 A
Still in all I’ve best conceived

Bm                F#m
That I did fall in fleshy need

 G               A
And taking water laced with sin

   G               A         A
Seen what love is up against


Interlude:
D               A         D           A
F#m             G         Bm         F#m

Verse 3:

    D               A         D           A
My mind is full of worry, and wonder at itself

 F#m                   G          Bm         F#m
I search all day for answers, and nothing ever helps

 D                    A         D            A
I don’t believe the stories of high and holy ghosts

 F#m                   G            Bm                F#m
And if anything should matter, then what should matter most?

Chorus:

D                 A
To the thought I will abide

Bm                    F#m
That hate is foolish, love is wise

G               A
Words the old man softly spoke

G               A         A
Left the world to live in hope


outro:
D               A         D           A
F#m             G         Bm         F#m
D               A         D
