verse 1

G7/C C Cdim7 G7/C C G7/C C
why do we never get an answer
G7/C C Cdim7 ( viii ) G9/C C C
when we’re knocking at the door
Cdim7 G7/C C G7/C C
with A thousand million questions
G7/C C Cdim7 G9/C C C
about hate and death and war?
Cdim7 G7/C C G7/C C
’cause when we stop and look around us
G7/C C Cdim7 G9/C C C
there is nothing that we need
Cdim7 G7/C C G7/C C
in A world of persecution
G7/C C Cdim7 ( viii ) G9/C C
that is burning in its greed

Cdim7 G7/C C G7/C C
why do we never get an answer
G7/C C Cdim7 G9/C C C
when we’re knocking at the door?
Cdim7 G7/C C
because the truth is hard to swallow
G7/C C Cdim7 G9/C C
that’s what the war of love is for

it’s not the way that you say it
C G7sus4/D C
when you do those things to me
G7sus4/D C/E F C/E
it’s more the way that you mean it
C G7sus4/D C ( nh )
when you tell me what will be
G7sus4/D F C/E
and when you stop and think about it
C G7sus4/D C
you won’t believe it’s true
G7sus4/D C/E F C/E
that all the love you’ve been giving
C G7sus4/D C ( nh )
has all been meant for you
C6sus4 C5 G G7 C C6sus4 C C6sus4 C
i’m looking for someone to change my life
G7 C
i’m looking for A miracle in my life
G7sus4/D C/E F Fadd2
and if you could see
C/E G7sus4/D C
what it’s done to me
G
lose the love i knew
G7 G6 C C ( nh )
and safely leave here through
G7sus4/D C/E F C/E
between the silence of the mountains
C G7sus4/D C
and the crashing of the sea
G7sus4/D C/E F C/E
there lies A land i once lived in
C G7sus4/D C
and she’s waiting there for me
G7sus4/D C/E F C/E
but in the gray of the morning
C G7sus4/D C
my mind becomes confused
G7sus4/D C/E F C/E
between the dead and the sleeping
C G7sus4/D C
and the road that i must choose
G7sus4/D C/E C G7 C C6sus4 C C6sus4 C
i’m looking for someone to change my life
G7 C
i’m looking for A miracle in my life
G7sus4/D C/E F Fadd2
and if you could see
C G
what it’s done to me
C
to lose the love i knew
G7sus4/D C/E F
it safely lead me to
C/E G7sus4/D C
the land that i once knew
G
A – learn as we grow old
C ( nh )
the secrets of our soul
G7sus4/D C/E F C/E
it’s not the way that you say it
C G7sus4/D C
when you do those things to me
G7sus4/D C/E F C/E
it’s more the way you really mean it
C G7sus4/D C ( nh )
when you tell me what will be
