[G]
You ask me [Am] why I don't [Bm] smile, is there something troubling [Am] me?
[G] Just [C] open your [G] eyes and look [Em] around [C] and tell me what [G] do you see?
Can you understand [Am] the things people do [Em] [Bm] and the way they treat [Am] each other?
And tell [C] me how far [G] has man [Em] really come [C] when today he's still killing [G] his brother?
[Am] It makes no [Em] difference where you do [Am] it or what [Bm] man you use
[Bb] I know if [F] things keep going [Dm] this [Bb] way, [F] everyone's gonna lose, [Bb]
[F] everybody's gonna lose
[D]
[G] They're doing alright [Am] with material things, [Bm] you can tell by the way [Am] we live
[C] But with all these [G] things man has [Em] learned how to [C] do, still hasn't [G] learned how to give
If you don't [Am] have the answers right now, [Bm] I'll see you after [Am] a while
[C] If next [G] time I still [Em] look this [C] way, you'll know why [G] I don't smile
