D A Come, tell me your trouble G I'm not your answer D But I'm a listening ear D A Reality has left you reeling G All facts and no feeling D No faith and all fear Em I don't know why a good man will fall Bm While a wicked one stands Em And our lives blow about A Like flags on the land D A Who's at fault is not important G Good intentions lie dormant D And we're all to blame D A While apathy acts like an ally G D My enemy and I are one and the same Em I don't know why the innocents fall Bm While the monsters still stand Em And our lives blow about A Like flags on the land Em I don't know why our words are so proud Bm Yet their promise so thin Em And our lives blow about A Like flags in the wind Instrumental: Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em A G D You who mourn will be comforted A Em You who hunger will hunger no more G D All the last shall be first A Of this I am sure G D You who weep now will laugh again A Em All you lonely be lonely no more G D Yes, the last will be first A Of this I'm sure Em I don't know why the innocents fall Bm While the monsters stand Em I don't know why the little ones thirst G A Em But I know the last shall be first G A Em I know the last shall be first G A D I know the last shall be first
