Key: D major
Verse 1
G
D
I walk the streets alone,
A
D
A
here I go with head hung down
F#m
G
The heavens laugh so hard at me
Bm
F#m
that I cannot bear the sound
D
A
I'm home to every lonely,
D
A
I'm here to every cry
F#m
G
I'm eyes to every suffering,
Bm
F#m
and lost to reasons why
D
A
And of all the awful things I've heard,
Bm
F#m
the worst must be those terrible words
G
A
If I don't do it, that man will,
G
A
be it steal or rape or kill
D
A
I strive to be a good man,
D
A
I know it serves me well
F#m
D
A
I've loved and I've been loved,
D
A
I was not always true
F#m
G
And at times I feel to stay alone
Bm
F#m
is the honest thing to do
D
A
Still and all I best conceive
Bm
F#m
that I did fall in fleshy need
G
A
And taking water laced with sin,
G
A
D
seeing what love is up against
A
D
A
F#m
G
Bm
F#m
D
A
My mind is full of worry
D
A
and wonder at itself
F#m
G
I search all day for answers
F#m
D
A
I don't believe the stories
D
A
of high and holy ghosts
F#m
G
And if anything should matter,
Bm
F#m
then what should matter most?
D
A
To the thought I will abide,
Bm
F#m
that hate is foolish, love is wise
G
A
Words the old man softly spoke,
G
A
left the world to live in hope
