Verse 1:
A
We keep hurting each other
       E                    Bm
When words can't be easily said
A

No understanding or reason
       E                    Bm
Just fear and confusion instead
A
We need hope for the future
          E                       Bm
And the young need a chance to survive


Pre-chorus:
D                A/C#                 E
No one knows the pain that's felt by the innocent
        F#m              D
They're fighting to stay alive
    A/C#                         E
Can no one see the tears in their eyes


Chorus:
         F#m   D    A   E
Only the children...   Yeah..
F#m   D             A   E
Only the children cry
         F#m   D    A   E
Only the children...

F#m  D  A  E


Verse 2:
A
Why do those who have plenty
   E                       Bm
Ignore those with nothing at all?
A
Why must the ones just beginning
 E                           Bm
Stand with their backs to the wall?
A
They keep asking for answers
    E                       Bm
And we keep on telling them lies


Pre-chorus:
    D              A/C#                 E
They only want to understand what they feel inside
        F#m                 D
The hunger that tears them apart
        A/C#                               E
It's the one thing they've known from the start


Chorus:
         F#m   D    A   E
Only the children...   Yeah..
F#m   D             A   E
Only the children cry
         F#m   D    A   E
Only the children...

Only the children cry
