_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ I came home from school on Tuesday to [Ab] find my mother gone.
_ [Eb]
Why she left I'll never [Bb] know.
It seemed like they got [Eb] along.
But one of these days I'd like to know just where it [Ab] all went wrong.
[Eb] A _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] woman torn to tears asks [Fm] who the real criminals are.
[Eb] Oh, and they told her her husband died [Fm] fighting in another [Bb] country's drug wars.
[Eb] She said it isn't the kids on the streets without a dream [Ab] shooting up the dealer's smack.
[Eb] It's them red tape politicians taking all the [Ab] drug lord's [Bb] kickbacks.
[Eb] Isn't it funny what [Bb] power and money [Eb] can do to the soul of a man? _ _
_ And give me something to believe in here [Bb] if there's a lord above.
I'd give me [Eb] something to believe in here [Ab] if there's a lord above.
_ [Eb] He got a second job at night now [Bb]
[F] just to help pay the bills.
[Eb] And there he worked for the rest of his [Ab] life cause his wife had taken ill.
[Eb] Now he lives on a bottle of courage [Fm] he buys at the liquor store.
[Eb] He did his family real good [Fm] until he couldn't do it anymore.
[Eb] Whatever he [Fm] found, [Bb] why he broke down, no one's [Ab] really sure.
_ _ _ [Eb] _
Just needed something to believe in if [Ab] there's a lord above.
He needed [Eb] something to believe in.
_ [Ab] Oh, lord arise.
The [Eb] tracks of society's [Fm] racial on the old man's [Eb] face.
His eyes bluttered, [Ab] really to [Eb] waste.

_ _ _ [Eb] _ the mirror tells a different story [Fm] than the one that's playing in my mind.
[Eb] Every time I swear I'm looking younger, [Ab] the more lines that I find.
[Eb] I guess I learned to trade youth for wisdom [Bb] and lust in for [Eb] romance.
It's all written in the stages and phases [Bb] of life's [Eb] little dance.
But when I want a picture [Fm] back growing old, [Eb] I think how many [Ab] never had a _ [Eb] chance.
