Cadd9: x32033

G+G         B minorBm            Cadd9Cadd9         G+G
Why do we sit down when all should be standing?
    G+G         B minorBm               Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
And why do we back down at the critical moment?
     E minorEm       D MajorD            Cadd9Cadd9        G+G
Like running away from the waves of the ocean
   E minorEm           D MajorD              Cadd9Cadd9        G+G
We head for the hills with the high tide approaching
   A minorAm          B minorBm           Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
As sand slips away from the castle.

          G+G             B minorBm            Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
When it's time to stand upright, then why do we falter?
     G+G           B minorBm             Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
Like placing our freedom on the sacrificial altar
        E minorEm           D MajorD           Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
We hold tight to our fears and defend our oppressors
      E minorEm              D MajorD          Cadd9Cadd9         G+G
As we fight for their lies and become the transgressors
   A minorAm               B minorBm               Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
As pacifists transform to violent aggressors.

    G+G          D MajorD                        E minorEm                     Cadd9Cadd9
But I'm only a stranger here, and I'm a long, long way from my home,
         G+G                          D MajorD
And they say I can't change all the things I find strange,
    E minorEm                   Cadd9Cadd9
For what can one man do alone?
       E minorEm           D MajorD       Cadd9Cadd9
I say, what can one man do alone?

G+G           B minorBm            Cadd9Cadd9        G+G
When is the right time to stand up for freedom?
         G+G           B minorBm            Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Could it be when you start to fear creating children
         E minorEm        D MajorD            Cadd9Cadd9        G+G
Who'll inherit the pain and the debt of this nation
       E minorEm            D MajorD                Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
And be slaves to the banks that cause hyperinflation
        A minorAm                   B minorBm                 Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD
Who are masters of commerce, lies, and bad legislation? Woah!

       G+G             B minorBm        Cadd9Cadd9          G+G
If you looked in the eyes of a thousand young children
        G+G         B minorBm            Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
Through fences of razors, their innocence stolen
       E minorEm           D MajorD      Cadd9Cadd9        G+G
As the red flag of tyranny flies in the open
   A minorAm               B minorBm      Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD
Is that when you'll finally notice? Woah, wo-o-oah!

    G+G          D MajorD                    E minorEm                     Cadd9Cadd9
But I'm only a stranger here, I'm a long, long way from my home
         G+G                          D MajorD
And they say I can't change all the things I find strange,
    E minorEm                   Cadd9Cadd9
For what can one man do alone?
     E minorEm           D MajorD       Cadd9Cadd9
Yes, what can one man do alone?

    A minorAm              B minorBm                     Cadd9Cadd9               G+G  D MajorD
I'm only a stranger looking to find better nature in my fellow man
         B minorBm                     Cadd9Cadd9                      E minorEm            D MajorD          Cadd9Cadd9
But they keep telling me it's a sin to be free, and that's more than I'm willing to stand

G+G              B minorBm          Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Where will you be when the order is given
   G+G           B minorBm           Cadd9Cadd9        G+G
To censor your mind as free speech is forbidden
   E minorEm          D MajorD              Cadd9Cadd9         G+G
As martyrs for peace from the world will be driven
 E minorEm         D MajorD          Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
Away by the sound of a bellowing thunder
    A minorAm                B minorBm                Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD
And choke on the blood of a dream going under

   G+G        B minorBm          Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
As arrogant men tear up our constitution
         G+G       B minorBm         Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
And from ev'ry direction we cry revolution
E minorEm         D MajorD          Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
Standing together and without permission
E minorEm           D MajorD            Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
Soldiers for Truth in the War of Attrition
    A minorAm                B minorBm           Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD
The love of our country as our ammunition? Woah, wo-o-oah!

    G+G          D MajorD                    E minorEm                     Cadd9Cadd9
But I'm only a stranger here, I'm a long, long way from my home
        G+G                       D MajorD
And I'm going to change all the things I find strange
    E minorEm                Cadd9Cadd9
For I am not one man alone

G+G              D MajorD               E minorEm                     Cadd9Cadd9
Yes I'm only a stranger, I'm a long, long way from my home
        G+G                       D MajorD
And I'm going to change all the things I find strange
    E minorEm                   Cadd9Cadd9
For I know that I'm not alone
    E minorEm      D MajorD        Cadd9Cadd9
Yes I know, I'm not alone
     G+G
Not alone
