Intro: F5  C5  G5  G5  F5  C5  G5

F5       C5    G5     G5  F5      C5     G5      G5
 We all know sadness,  and I feel your pain
F5               C5              G5          A5   F5
 Well everybody knows a little loneliness sometimes
C5                    G5    G5
'Cause we're all the same

F5   C5        G5    G5 F5   C5        G5    G5
 We all have sorrow, we all have shame
F5          C5              G5         A5   F5
 Everybody feels a bit of emptiness sometimes
    C5                 G5     G5    G5
Now what you gonna do about that

          F5           C5       G5       A5
There's a way to keep going , step by step
       F5               C5       G5        A5
Try to fix what's been broken, brick by brick
           F5              C5       G5          A5
While your life will keep coming, year after year
F5          C5     G5       A5
 Drain the pain, tear by tear
F5      C5        G5                  F5 C5 G5
 Drain away the pain, tear by tear

F5       C5     G5        G5
 Take a look around you
F5      C5             G5  G5
 Every face that you see
F5               C5             G5         A5      F5      C5
 Well everybody gets a little paralyzed sometimes, the epidemic of our
G5        G5 G5
insanity

          F5           C5       G5       A5
There's a way to keep going , step by step
       F5               C5       G5        A5
Try to fix what's been broken, brick by brick
           F5              C5       G5          A5
While your life will keep coming, year after year
F5          C5     G5       A5
 Drain the pain, tear by tear
F5      C5        G5                  F5 C5 G5
 Drain away the pain, tear by tear

        A5         C5                 G5          G5
And the mother she waits, 'Cause her teenager's late
         A5           C5             G5             G5
Till the knock on the door, he says ma'am I am so sorry
    A5            C5             G5                G5
And soldiers come home, one leg less than they'd gone with
   A5        C5                  G5            G5
We all walk around like there's just nothing wrong with it

    F5         C5                G5            A5
The doctor he cries 'cause his last patient died
    F5           C5             G5         G5
Did I mention before he was a father of five
        F5           C5              G5             A5
And the waitress is home, well she can't pay her loan
           F5            C5                   G5           G5
She's lost everything ? everything, she has no where to go
        F5          C5               G5       A5
And the fat kid at school couldn't take anymore
        F5              C5              G5      G5
All the taunts and the names and the ugliest words
       F5               C5                 G5             A5
No one even stopped to notice, they went on with their day
        F5            C5       G5            G5
Till he pulled out a gun and blew himself away

          F5           C5       G5       A5
There's a way to keep going , step by step
       F5               C5       G5        A5
Try to fix what's been broken, brick by brick

        F5 C5 G5  G5
Tear by tear,

Tear by tear
