Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]Read about the sorry way he done
somebody's daughter
[A]Chained her to a heavy thing
[D]and threw her in the water
And she sank into the darkness
with their baby son inside her
[A]A little piece of truth and
beau[D]ty died

[Verse 2]
Burning [D]up the atmosphere and
cutting down the trees
The [A]billion dollar bomb[D]ing [A]of
[D]a nation on it's knees
Anyone not marching to their
tune - they call it treason
[A]Everyone says God is on his[D] side

[Verse 3]
See [D]the lightning, hear [G]the cries
Of the [A]wounded in a world in holy [D]war
Mortal thunder from [G]the skies
Killing [A]everything they say
they're fighting [D]for

[Verse 4]
Broken [D]babies, broken [G]homes
Broken- [A]hearted people
dying [D]everyday
How'd this happen,
what went [G]wrong?
Don't blame [A]God; I swear to God
I heard [D]him say...

[Verse 5]
[Chorus] 'Not in my [D]name,
not on [G]my ground
I want [A]nothing but the ending of [D]the war
No more killing, or [G]it's over
And the [A]mystery won't
[D]matter anymore.'
[A]Broken [D]dreamers,

[Verse 6]
broken [G]rules
Broken- [A]hearted [D]people
just like me [A]and [D]you
We are children of [G]the stars
Don't blame [A]God; I swear to God he's
crying [D]too

[Verse 7]
[Chorus] [D]Read
about the sorry way he done
somebody's daughter
[A]Chained her to a heavy thing
and [D]threw her in the water
And she sank into the darkness
with their baby son inside her
[A]A little piece of truth and beauty died
