[B]
But now I can't see that day
The fear in your eyes
Tell [E] me why
[F#] Are you so [B] afraid?
Some things they turn out this way
[A#] Like a bullet [F] that you find
[D#m] But you [E] don't know the truth behind
[B] In a religious way
Tell [E] me why
[B] Are [F#] you so [B] afraid?
Tell [E] me why
[F#] Are you so [B] afraid?
You walk this line
You [G#m] walk this line of hate
Where [F#] people are so blind
Blind [B] to the evil they create
Never [G#m] said too much

Never [F#] think I'd die
Tell [E] me why

Now I can't see that day
The fear in your eyes
You [E] gave all you lived for

Was to get your pride
