[Intro]
Fmaj7*
[1st Verse]
Fmaj7
Dear God
F
Why is there so much pain
C
And hunger and diseases
G
Why are people praying in vain
Fmaj7
And killing in your name
F
They justify their kill
C G
And how can you just sit and watch the rich impose their will
Fmaj7
On people who are poor
F
And sleeping on the floor
C G
Why do we have to lose the ones we love in times of war
Fmaj7
Why do we have to burn
F
Our fingers just to learn
C G Gsus2
Why do we have to suffer getting nothing in return
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
Dear God
F
Why don't you stop the violence
C G
We hope, we pray, but all we get is silence
Fmaj7
Dear God
F
Our prayers remain unanswered
C G Gsus2
As a hundred thousand children die of cancer
Fmaj7*
Dear God
[2nd Verse]
Fmaj7
Dear God
F
I think I'm going insane
C
The guilty crush the innocent
G
It's such a bloody shame
Fmaj7
It'll always be the same
F
And that will never change
C G
Now how can you just sit and watch them crucify the saints
Fmaj7
You want us to be loyal
F
You want us to be true
C G
But I cannot remember getting any help from you
Fmaj7
If it's true that Jesus
F
He died for our sins
C G Gsus2
Then why all these tsunamis and these hurricane winds
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
Dear God
F
Why don't you stop the violence
C G
We hope, we pray, but all we get is silence
Fmaj7
Dear God
F
Our prayers remain unanswered
C G Gsus2
As a hundred thousand children die of cancer
Fmaj7*
Dear God
[3rd Verse]
Fmaj7
Dear God
F
Why is their so much grief
C
And rape and murder
G
How can you expect us to believe
Fmaj7
And get down on our knees
F
Without any guarantees
C G
The afterlife is promised just to make us feel at ease
Fmaj7
So we won't cross the line
F
And stand our time
C G
Longing for the afterlife, waiting for a sign
Fmaj7
A sign that never came
F
If Jesus took the blame
C G Gsus2
Then why are desperate people carrying a ball and chain
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
Dear God
F
Why don't you stop the violence
C G
We hope, we pray, but all we get is silence
Fmaj7
Dear God
F
Our prayers remain unanswered
C G Gsus2
As a hundred thousand children die of cancer
Fmaj7*
Dear God
