[Verse 1]
        D           C
Come on son help me out,
              B                     C
It's cold out here, you're all I've got,
        G           D      G
Come on son help me out.

[Verse 2]
        D               C
Come on son I'm getting tired,
           B                C
I feel the blame I feel the fire,
        G               D
Come on son I'm getting tired.

[Verse 3]
            G        D
I'm getting tired
               C       D G
of playing the game,
            D                 C          G
I'm getting tired of feeling ashamed.

[Chorus]
        D              C
What of love ? What of peace?
            Bm               C
What of the sky? What of the seas?
            G                        D
What of the birds and the songs they sing?
             G
What do they mean?
            D                 C
What of the hour? What of the day?
            Bm           C
What of the years I ran away?
                 G              D
What-about those times I almost changed?
             G       D
What do they mean?

[Bridge]
             C       G
When you are old?
             D                           C        D  G  D
What do they mean when you've learned to cope?
               C
When I've been gone?
G            D                     C       G
What do they mean when you can't recall?

[Chorus]
        D             C
What of love? What of peace?
             Bm              C
What of the sky? What of the seas?
            G                        D
What of the birds and the songs they sing?
             G
What do they mean?

            D                 C
What of the hour? What of the day?
            Bm           C
What of the years I ran away?
                 G              D
What-about those times I almost changed?
             G       D
What do they mean?
               C    G
When life goes on?
             D                     C          D  G  D
What do they mean when you can't recall?

When I've been gone?
            G                        D        G  D
What of the birds and the songs they sing?
               C        B   C
When I've been gone?
                 G              D
What-about those times I almost changed?
             G        D  C  G
What do they mean?
