      E 
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
                    Asus
Our lawyers took his wife and kids no regrets

I tried all night not to break down and cry as the tears rolled down my face
  E                             Asus

    E             F#m                G#m               A
And mirror mirror on the wall sees a smile than fades again

I drive by the homeless sleeping on the cold dark street
     Asus
like bodies in an open grave
E                                        Asus
Underneath the broken old neon sign that used to read "Jesus Saves"
  E                                   Asus
A mile away live the rich folks and I see how they livin' it up

While the poor they eat from hand to mouth the rich drink from a golden cup
     E               F#m                G#m               A
And it just makes me wonder why so many lose and so few win
                                E

Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now the things I didn't know then
                          E
Oh give me something to believe in.
