Eb5                     Bb5
Come, tell me your trouble
                Ab5
I'm not your answer
                   Eb5
But I'm a listening ear

Eb5                       Bb5
Reality has left you reeling
                     Ab5
All facts and no feeling
                    Eb5
No faith and all fear

F5
I don't know why a good man will fall
C5
While a wicked one stands
F5
And our lives blow about
                 Bb5
Like flags on the land

Eb5                         Bb5
Who's at fault is not important
                       Ab5
Good intentions lie dormant
                   Eb5
And we're all to blame

 Eb5                         Bb5
While apathy acts like an ally
               Ab5             Eb5
My enemy and I are one and the same

F5
I don't know why the innocents fall
C5
While the monsters still stand
F5
And our lives blow about
                   Bb5
Like flags on the land

F5
I don't know why our words are so proud
C5
Yet their promise so thin
F5
And our lives blow about
                   Bb5
Like flags in the wind

Ab5                         Eb5
You who mourn will be comforted
          Bb5                  F5
You who hunger will hunger no more
Ab5                      Eb5
All the last shall be first
              Bb5
Of this I am sure

Ab5                            Eb5
You who weep now will laugh again
         Bb5                   F5
All you lonely be lonely no more
Ab5                       Eb5
Yes, the last will be first
            Bb5
Of this I'm sure
 
F5
I don't know why the innocents fall
C5
While the monsters stand
F5
I don't know why the little ones thirst
Ab5             Bb5              F5
But I know the last shall be first
Ab5             Bb5          F5
I know the last shall be first
Ab5             Bb5                Eb5
I know the last shall be first
