Capo 1


Verse 1:
C                  D
Come, tell me your trouble
             Am
I'm not your answer, 
    C               C
but I'm a listening ear


C                    D
Reality has left you reeling
                 Am        C
All facts and no feeling
                 C
No faith and all fear


Chorus 1:
Am
I don't know why the good man will fall
Em
While the wicked one stands
Am
And our lives blow about
                   D
Like flags on the land


Verse 2:
C                      D
Who's at fault is not important
                    Am           C
Good intentions lie dormant
                 C
And we're all to blame

      C                   D
While apathy acts like an ally
          Am        C
My enemy and I
               C
Are one in the same


Chorus 2:
Am
I don't know why the innocents fall
Em
While the monsters still stand
Am
And our lives blow about 
                  D
Like flags on the land

Am
I don't know why our words are so proud
Em
Yet their promise so thin
Am
And our lives blow about
                  D
Like flags in the wind


Am Em Am D


Bridge:
Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Em
Oh oh oh oh oh
C           C           D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhh


Chorus 3:
C                     C
You who mourn will be comforted
        D                     Am
You who hunger will hunger no more
C                     C                   D
All the last shall be first, of this I am sure

C                     C
You who weep now will laugh again
        D                    Am
All you lonely, be lonely no more
C                    C                   D
Yes the last will be first, of this I am sure


Ending:
Am
I don't know why the innocents fall
Em
While the monsters stand
Am
I don't know why the little ones thirst
    C          D             Em
But I know the last shall be first
C          D             Em
I know the last shall be first
C          D             Em
I know the last shall be first
