Verse 1
D 
Read about the sorry way he done
somebody's daughter
A 
Chained her to a heavy thing
D 
and threw her in the water
And she sank into the darkness
with their baby son inside her
A 
A little piece of truth and
D 
beauty died

Verse 2
D 
Burning up the atmosphere and
cutting down the trees
A 
D 
A 
The billion dollar bombing of
D 
a nation on it's knees
Anyone not marching to their
tune - they call it treason
A 
D 
Everyone says God is on his side

Verse 3

See the lightning, hear the cries

Of the wounded in a world in holy war

Mortal thunder from the skies

Killing everything they say

they're fighting for

Verse 4
D 
G 
Broken babies, broken homes
A 
Broken- hearted people
D 
dying everyday
How'd this happen,
G 
what went wrong?
A 
Don't blame God; I swear to God
D 
I heard him say...

Verse 5
D 
[Chorus] 'Not in my name,
G 
not on my ground
A 
D 
I want nothing but the ending of the war
G 
No more killing, or it's over
A 
And the mystery won't
D 
matter anymore.'
A 
D 
Broken dreamers,

Verse 6
G 
broken rules
A 
D 
Broken- hearted people
A 
D 
just like me and you
G 
We are children of the stars
A 
Don't blame God; I swear to God he's
D 
crying too
