_ _ [Eb] A woman torn to tears asks _ [Cm] who the real criminals are.
_ [Eb] Oh and they told her her husband died fighting [Fm] in another country's [F] drug wars.
She [Eb] said it isn't the kids on the streets without a dream [F] shooting up the dealer's smack.

Just needed something to believe in _ _ _ if [F] there's a lord above. _

[Eb] I guess I learned to trade youth for wisdom [F] and lost in full _ romance.
_ [Eb] _ I'll rend in the stages and phases [F] of life's little dance.
[Eb] But when I want a picture back [Cm] growing old [Eb] I think I _ had a _ _ _ _ chance.
_ [Ab] _
