i see so little hope in you , with so much despair
E E B
as i look in your eyes i wonder what thoughts linger there

life means nothing to you , at least that’s what they say
E B
but it doesn’t mean that you have the right to take life away

C#m G#m
how were we to know , what was going on inside your mind

killer’s eyes

E B
you’ve seen your picture in the paper
C#m
you’re little sister’s pinned it on the wall
E B
she thinks you’re in some kind of movie
C#m
imagine her surprise , when she saw you on the news

reporters came around and asked for interviews

B C#7
so little compassion , so icy cool
E B
they say you were a poor boy , you know that life can be cruel
B C#7
hate builds up from childhood , your world was a slum
E B
but you haven’t got the right to blow it to kingdom come

when you were young you had a vision
