E
I came home from school on Tuesday
F#m
To find my mother gone
E
Why she left Ill never know
F#m
It seemed like they got along
G#m F#m
But one of these days Id like to know
G#mA
Just where it all went wrong
E
A woman torn to tears asks
F#m
Who the real criminals are
E
Or when they told er her husband died
F#m
Fighting in another countrys drug wars
E
She said it isnt the kids on the streets without a dream
F#m
Shooting up the dealers smack
E
Its them a red-tape politicians
F#m
Digging on the drug lords kick-backs
G#mF#m
Isnt it funny what power and money
G#mA
Can do to the soul of a man?
E
And give me something to believe in
F#m
If theres a lord above
E
I give me something to believe in
F#m
If theres a lord above
E
He got a second job at night now
F#m
Just to help pay the bills
E
And there he worked for the rest of his life
F#m
Cuz his wife had taken him in
E
Now he lives on a bottle of courage
F#m
He buys at the liquor store
E
He did his family real good
F#m
Till he couldnt do it anymore
G#mF#m
Whatever he found, why he broke down
G#mA
No ones really sure
E
Just needed something to believe in
F#m
If theres a lord above
E
He needed something to believe in
F#m
Oh lord arise
G#m F#m
The tracks of societys racial on the old mans face
G#m A
His eyes blood red lay to waste

E
Well the mirror tells a different story
F#m
Than the one thats playin in my mind
E
Every time I swear Im lookin younger
F#m
The more lines that I find
E
I guess I learned to trade youth for wisdom
F#m
And lust in for romance
E
Its all written in the stages and phases
F#m
Of lifes little dance
G#mF#m
And when I wanna b***h about growin old
G#m A
I think of how many never had a chance
E
It gives me something to believe in
