[Intro 1]
[A5]
[Bb5][Bb][Gm]
[Bb5]I[A5]

[Verse 1]
often
wonder why I sit and wait to die
What have I [C]done to jus[A5]tify
the sentence [G5]they [A5]gave?
Too many hours spent in
darkness question[Bb]ing
"How [Gm]an d wh[Bb]y"?
[A5]I can't remember

[Verse 2]
[A5]many
moments in the light
This retribution has defiled
me to no end
An execution without merit loom[Bb5]s ahead
[Bb]Tell me why![Gm]
[Bb][F][E5][F][E5]

[Verse 3]
[F]
[A5]I was a boy who had to live [E5]his [F]own way[Am]
I [A5]nev er fit into the model
they had [C]de [Am]signed
[A5]I chos[Am]e a path less take[F]n
[Am]I stood with others who [A5]had
often felt the same
We [F]got [Am]stares [F]from passersby

[Verse 4]
[A5]
[F]Our dark at[Am]tire seemed to
frighten people away
And [F]when the three young boys [Am]died
[F]They [Am]pointed fingers
[A5]and entangled us in [D]a lie!

[Verse 5]
[D]No hope in [E5]sight
[C]I sit her[Bb]e ter[A5]

[Verse 6]
[Am]ri f[C]ied![B5][F]
[Bb]Can [E5]'t so[Bb]meone[A5] try to [C]brin[D]g the[F]
[A5]truth [Am]to l[B5]ight?[F][Bb][E5]
[Bb]Won't [A5]any [C]body o[D]pen
[C]up [Am]their[C] eye s[B5]?[F]
[Bb]Be f[E5]ore t[Bb]he th[A5]ree [C]of us have los[D]t [Dm]our li[E5]ves!

[Interlude 1]
[E5][A5][Bb][Bb5]
[A5][Am][A5][Gm][A5][Bb]
[Gm][Bb][F][Am][F][Am][A5]
Why was every[F]body [Am]so

[Verse 7]
[F]damn [Am]afraid?
[F]They [Am]blamed the devil for the
heinousness [A5]of t[C]he crime[F]
[A5]And to [F]justi[Am]fy t[F]heir own f[Am]aith
We [F]were [Am]labeled pawns of
Satan [A5]for a time
[Am]The three of us

[Verse 8]
[F]were at
[Am]tacked [F]and disgraced
For many [Am]hours we were
questioned and [C]someone [E5]lied
[A5]One of u[Am]s couldn't t[F]ake it
His [Am]simple manner was manip
[A5]ulated in [D]kind
Fear made him [E5]lie
[C]

[Verse 9]
I sit [Bb]here [A5]ter r[Am]i fi[C]ed![B5][F]
[E5]Can'[Bb]t some[Am]one try [C]to
[Dm]bring the [Am]truth [F]to light?
[E5]Won't [Am]any [C]body o[D]pen
[Am]up t[C]heir eyes?[F]
[E5]Be f[A5]ore the th[C]ree of u[Dm]s have l[E5]ost our lives!

[Verse 10]
[Eb]
[B5]Now I am t[A5]er r[Am]ified[C][F]
[Bb]Can't some[A5]one try [C]to bring[Dm] the
[Am]truth [C]to light?[F]
[Bb]Won't [A5]any [C]body o[D]pen
[Am]up t[C]heir eye s[F]?[Bb]
Be[Am]fore the [C]three of [Dm]us have [E5]lost our lives

[Verse 11]
And [Am]why?[C][F]
[Bb]Can't [Am]any [C]body s[Dm]ee through
[Am]their [C]dis[F]guise?
[Bb]Only be li[Am]eve [C]we didn't[D]
[Am]take [C]their lives[F]
[Bb]And now the [Am]three[C] of
[Dm]us have [E5]lost our lives
[Am]I often wonder why

[Verse 12]
I sit and
[Bb]wait to die
[Am]What have I done to justi[A5]fy the
sentence they [Am]gave?
Too many hours spent in
[A5]darkness [Bb]questioning
"How [Gm]an d why"?

[Verse 13]
[Am]I can't remember many [A5]mo
ments [Bb]in the light
[Am]This retribution has de[A5]filed [Am]me to no end
An execution without merit looms ahead
[Bb]Tell [Gm]me why[Am][A5][G5][F][Dm][D]
