Tom: C
Em C Em C
[Verse 1]
Em
See it coming everywhere I look
C
Falling down like rain
Am
Kill a man over a sentence in a book
Em
And collect a reward for his pain
[Verse 2]
Em
Such a failing situation
C
And I'm sick of looking at it anywhere I go
Am
Let 'em talk and send their hate and stick to war again
Em
Like it's the only thing they know
[Chorus]
C
What's the reason for this again?
Em
Right back where we've always been
C Am
These excuses are wearing thin
G Em
So, what's the reason for this again?
C
What's the reason for this again?
Em
Can't decide, but you've got to win
C Am
We're all the same, but you're not my friend
G Em
So, what's the reason for this again?
[Verse 3]
Em
Same shit, different century
C
Here we go again
Am
No parade, seeing tanks on your street
Em
What's the mission? When's it gonna end?
[Verse 4]
Em
How many stones do we have to line up?
C
Before we understand
Am
Caught up, drawing lines on a paper
Em
At the price of the blood in the sand
[Chorus]
C
What's the reason for this again?
Em
Right back where we've always been
C Am
These excuses are wearing thin
G Em
So, what's the reason for this again?
C
What's the reason for this again?
Em
Can't decide, but you've got to win
C Am
We're all the same, but you're not my friend
G Em
So, what's the reason for this again?
[Verse 5]
Em
Step into the grinder with your brother tomorrow
C
Kiss your mother goodbye
Am
She'll wipe her tears with your ribbons
Em
And then, they'll replace you in the blink of an eye
[Verse 6]
Em
Bite the bullet and boots on the ground
C
These ain't sticks and stones
Am
Flicking matches at a powder keg
Em
While you're standing on a pile of bones
[Chorus]
C
What's the reason for this again?
Em
Right back where we've always been
C Am
These excuses are wearing thin
G Em
So, what's the reason for this again?
C
What's the reason for this again?
Em
Can't decide, but you've got to win
C Am
We're all the same, but you're not my friend
G Em
So, what's the reason for this again?
[Ending Chorus]
F
What's the reason for this again?
Em
Can't decide, but you've got to win
C Am
We're all the same, but you're not my friend
G Em
So, what's the reason for this again?
G Em
What's the reason for this again?
G Em
What's the reason for this again?
G Em
What's the reason for this?
