[G]
[C] Tell me, [G] what's gone wrong?
I [C] tilt my head there under the [Bm] faucet
When [Am] I turn it off
[G] Life's great work, come neighbor
[C]
Who's to blame for [G] what's gone wrong?
[C] In the dark without a [Bm] clue
I'm just the [Am] same as you
[G] For [Bm] me, [Em] time's lost its poison in the mouth
[G] That someone's [F#m] been a bit [Em] unpunished
And they've been [C] a small despair
[G] Not a lot, no, just a drop
There you are mistaken, you know you are
[C] I wonder just how long
[C] They knew our world was poisoned
[Bm] But they let us [Am] just drink out
[G] For [Bm] they count [Em] us as poisoned in the well
[G] That someone's [Bm] been a bit [Em] untidy
That they've been a [G] small despair
I [Bm] know that ain't a [Em] monster in a tear in a salted sea
[G] That someone's [F#m] been a bit [Em] untidy
They'll have it cleaned [C] up in a week
But the [G] week is over
[C] Now [G] it's growing [C] into years
Since [G] I was born [C] that
I should [D] be calm, there's [G] nothing to fear
But I'm drowning in water
Me and my wife and my children
So [C] tell me, where [G] to now?
[C] If you fight for a valuable life
Can't be [Bm] fought and lost in your [Am] backyard
[G] Lord, [Bm] don't tell us [Em] there's poison [E] in the well
[G] That someone's been [Bm] a bit [Em] untidy

I know [Bm] that ain't a monster [Em] in a tear in a salted sea
