       Am             C        G               Am      C   G
 They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
       Am              C         G               Am      C   G
 They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
     Bm                       Am
 Forgive and forget, all the while
  Bm
 Love and pain become one and the same
        Am                      (G)
 In the eyes of a wounded child


          Am                 G
 Because Hell, Hell is for children
          Am                                             G
 And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
  Am                 G
 Hell, hell is for children
           Am                            G
 And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
                            F
 With your bones and your flesh


 Am      C   G   x 4


      Am                                     C   G   Am
 It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
        Am                                   C   G   Am
 They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
     Bm                                        Am
 Be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
       Bm     
 Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
        Am                           (G)
 Tell grandma you fell off the swing


          Am                 G
 Because Hell, Hell is for children
          Am                                             G
 And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
  Am                 G
 Hell, hell is for children
           Am                            G
 And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
                            F
 With your bones and your flesh
  G                Am
