Tom: G

G    D     C     G

[Verse 1]

G       D               C            G
So many times I've been fooling myself
D/F#   Em            D             C      G
It's a hard hand to play falls on nobody else
             D             C           G     D/F#
Those in the city reaching out to grab hold
     Em                   D
Of something they've only heard about
    C           G
And never been shown

[Chorus]

Em                      A
Who do you turn to and what do you say
     Em                       A
When she's got the power and she got the way
         C
Does it matter at all
       A7
Who survives and who falls
         C
When we live under darkness
    Em           C       Em      Cmaj7
And hide behind walls

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

G         D           C            G
Why would anyone even try to hold sway
D/F#  Em      D
Over somebody else
   C            G
In such a small way
              D              C           G
Where are the answers to the problems we face
D/F#       Em
Who would teach us
       D           C         G
About  sharing and living in grace

[Chorus]

Em                      A
Who do you turn to and what do you say
     Em                       A
When she's got the power and she got the way
         C
Does it matter at all
       A7
Who survives and who falls
         C
When we live under darkness
    Em    Cmaj7              Em      
And hide         behind walls
