[G] _ There is [C] poison in the [G] darkness, spreading like a [C] bad disease. _
[Am] I never thought I'd [Em] find myself in this condition, [Am] _ sitting by while [D] children die from their addiction.
[G] _ I'm just a small [D] town, I have no tongue to speak, [Am] I have no arms to hold [B] them as they're dying in my [G] streets.
So I have to [D] wonder, does anybody care?
[Am] Lord, is there any hope [Em] out there? _ _
