Chords with lyrics

DmDm

DmDm            C majorC        DmDm
As I raise my head to broadcast my objection
             C majorC         DmDm
As your latest triumph draws the final straw
           C majorC      DmDm
Who died and lifted you up to perfection?
            C majorC        DmDm
And what silenced me is written into law.

C majorC                    DmDm
I can't believe where circumstance has thrown me
   C majorC       DmDm
And I turn my head away
   C majorC               DmDm
If I look I'm not sure that I could face you.
   A minorAm     C majorC      DmDm
Not again. Not today. Not today.

DmDm          C majorC       DmDm
If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow
             C majorC       DmDm
And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge
                C majorC        DmDm
There's a hurt down deep that has not been corrected
                 C majorC        DmDm
There's a voice in me that says you will not win.

  C majorC         DmDm
And if I ignore the voice inside,
 C majorC            DmDm
Raise a half glass to my home.
 C majorC           DmDm
But it's there that I am most afraid,
      A minorAm      C majorC        DmDm
And forgetting doesn't hold. it doesn't hold.

FF
Now I don't believe and I never did
   DmDm
That two wrongs make a right.
     FF
If the world were filled with the likes of you
     DmDm                  FF
Then I'm putting up a fight. I'm putting up a fight.
       DmDm        A minorAm      C majorC       DmDm
Putting up a fight. make it right. make it right.

   DmDm      C majorC         DmDm
Now love cannot be called into question.
          C majorC        DmDm
Forgiveness is the only hope I hold.
         C majorC          DmDm
And love, love will be my strongest weapon.
           C majorC     DmDm
I do believe that I am not alone.

     C majorC          DmDm
For this fear will not destroy me.
     C majorC          DmDm
And the tears that have been shed
    C majorC          DmDm
It's knowing now where I am weakest
     A minorAm     C majorC      DmDm
And the voice in my head. in my head.

    C majorC         DmDm
Then I raise my voice up higher
    C majorC       DmDm
And I look you in the eye
    C majorC           DmDm
And I offer love with one condition.
    A minorAm         C majorC
With conviction, tell me why.
    DmDm
Tell me why.
    A minorAm
Tell me why.
        C majorC
Look me in the eye.
    DmDm
Tell me why.
