[Intro]
C Csus2
[Verse 1]
C Gsus4
Yesterday going down
Am7 Gsus4 Fadd9
Another kid, another school in another town
C Gsus4
I think about how to tell my son
Am7 Gsus4 F
And I think about how that one got a gun
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am Em
There are mysteries down where the blood meets the bone
Am F Gsus4
The loneliness there wouldn't leave him alone
[Chorus 1]
C G
But what if we try to reach him with words?
C F G
What if we looked in his eyes and asked where does it hurt?
C G
Would he find all he was worth?
Am
Monday was hoping
G C Csus2
But Tuesday's broken
[Verse 2]
C Gsus4
On the bed, feet up on the wall
Am7 Gsus4 Fadd9
Her eyes are red and wet and she wants to end it all
C Gsus4
Easy to be mean on the screen, cowards call you names
Am7 Gsus4 Fadd9
She reads the lies and multiplies the hurt and shame
G Fadd9
Man, it's a numbers game
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Gsus4 Am Em
But there are mysteries down where the blood meets the bone
Am F Gsus4
The loneliness there won't leave her alone
[Chorus 2]
G C G
But what if we try to reach her with words?
C F G
What if we looked in her eyes and asked where does it hurt?
C G
Would she find all she was worth?
Am
Monday was hoping
Gsus4 G
But Tuesday's
[Bridge]
Fadd9 Gsus4
Broken like voices that won't make a sound
Am7 G/B
We keep missing chances to turn it around
Fadd9 Gsus4
If someone is hurting right now
Am7 G/B
Open your mind
[Chorus 3]
C G
But what if we try to reach them with words?
C F G
What if we looked in their eyes and asked where does it hurt?
Am G
Would they find all they were worth?
Fadd9
Monday was hoping
Gsus4 Fadd9 G
Don't leave it unspoken
C Csus2 C Csus2 C
Or Tuesday's broken
