Tom: C
C F C
Is it time for a speech or for silence
C F C
Are you calling for peace or defiance
Am G/B F/A
Is this darkening counsel or wisdom
Am G C/G
Are we all perpetrators or victims?
[Verse 2]
C F C
Is this childlike simple rote history
C F C
Is it complex deciphering mystery
Am G/B F/A
Is this blessing or ill gotten wealth
Am G C/G
Am I speaking for God or myself?
[Chorus]
G/B Am F/A C/E
It’s a hard world for a second guess girl
G/B Am F/A C
With one hand and another
G/B Am F C
I try to take it in but it leaves me spinning
Dm G C
Trying to love my sister and brother
[Verse 3]
C F C
Is this confidence born of a calling
C F C
Is this ego and pride before falling
Am G/B F/A
Are we standing to fight for what’s right
Am G C/G
Are we angry and hopelessly blind?
[Verse 4]
C F C
Are we companions of Job or prophets of God
C F C
Are we not of this world or just painfully odd
Am G/B F/A
Is it time for free grace or tough love
Am G C/G
Or a little of all the above?
[Chorus]
G/B Am F/A C/E
It’s a hard world for a second guess girl
G/B Am F/A C
With one hand and another
G/B Am F C
I try to take it in but it leaves me spinning
Dm G C
Trying to love my sister and brother
[Bridge]
F/A C Dm G
Sooner or later we’ll know more about it
F/A C Dm G
Sooner or later we’ll understand why
Dm C/G
We’ll understand why
[Verse 5]
C F C
Is it time for a speech or for silence
C F C
Are you calling for peace or defiance
Am G/B F/A
Is this darkening counsel or wisdom
Am G C/G
Are we all perpetrators or victims?
[Final Chorus]
G/B Am F/A C/E
It’s a hard world for a second guess girl
G/B Am F/A C
With one hand and another
G/B Am F C
I try to take it in and it leaves me spinning
Dm G C
Trying to love my sister and brother
Dm Am F/A F C G
It’s a hard hard world for a second guess girl
Dm G C
Trying to love my sister, love my brother
