Cadd9: x32033

G+G     B minorBm      Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
Why do we sit down when all should be standing?
  G+G     B minorBm        Cadd9Cadd9  G+G
And why do we back down at the critical moment?
   E minorEm    D MajorD      Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Like running away from the waves of the ocean
  E minorEm      D MajorD       Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
We head for the hills with the high tide approaching
  A minorAm     B minorBm      Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
As sand slips away from the castle.

     G+G       B minorBm      Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
When it's time to stand upright, then why do we falter?
   G+G      B minorBm       Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Like placing our freedom on the sacrificial altar
    E minorEm      D MajorD      Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
We hold tight to our fears and defend our oppressors
   E minorEm       D MajorD     Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
As we fight for their lies and become the transgressors
  A minorAm        B minorBm        Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
As pacifists transform to violent aggressors.

  G+G     D MajorD            E minorEm           Cadd9Cadd9
But I'm only a stranger here, and I'm a long, long way from my home,
     G+G             D MajorD
And they say I can't change all the things I find strange,
  E minorEm          Cadd9Cadd9
For what can one man do alone?
    E minorEm      D MajorD    Cadd9Cadd9
I say, what can one man do alone?

G+G      B minorBm      Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
When is the right time to stand up for freedom?
     G+G      B minorBm      Cadd9Cadd9  G+G
Could it be when you start to fear creating children
     E minorEm    D MajorD      Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Who'll inherit the pain and the debt of this nation
    E minorEm      D MajorD        Cadd9Cadd9  G+G
And be slaves to the banks that cause hyperinflation
    A minorAm          B minorBm         Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD
Who are masters of commerce, lies, and bad legislation? Woah!

    G+G       B minorBm    Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
If you looked in the eyes of a thousand young children
    G+G     B minorBm      Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Through fences of razors, their innocence stolen
    E minorEm      D MajorD   Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
As the red flag of tyranny flies in the open
  A minorAm        B minorBm   Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD
Is that when you'll finally notice? Woah, wo-o-oah!

  G+G     D MajorD          E minorEm           Cadd9Cadd9
But I'm only a stranger here, I'm a long, long way from my home
     G+G             D MajorD
And they say I can't change all the things I find strange,
  E minorEm          Cadd9Cadd9
For what can one man do alone?
   E minorEm      D MajorD    Cadd9Cadd9
Yes, what can one man do alone?

  A minorAm       B minorBm           Cadd9Cadd9        G+G D MajorD
I'm only a stranger looking to find better nature in my fellow man
     B minorBm           Cadd9Cadd9           E minorEm      D MajorD     Cadd9Cadd9
But they keep telling me it's a sin to be free, and that's more than I'm willing to stand

G+G       B minorBm     Cadd9Cadd9  G+G
Where will you be when the order is given
  G+G      B minorBm      Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
To censor your mind as free speech is forbidden
  E minorEm     D MajorD       Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
As martyrs for peace from the world will be driven
 E minorEm     D MajorD     Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
Away by the sound of a bellowing thunder
  A minorAm        B minorBm        Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD
And choke on the blood of a dream going under

  G+G    B minorBm     Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
As arrogant men tear up our constitution
     G+G    B minorBm     Cadd9Cadd9  G+G
And from ev'ry direction we cry revolution
E minorEm     D MajorD     Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
Standing together and without permission
E minorEm      D MajorD      Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
Soldiers for Truth in the War of Attrition
  A minorAm        B minorBm      Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD
The love of our country as our ammunition? Woah, wo-o-oah!

  G+G     D MajorD          E minorEm           Cadd9Cadd9
But I'm only a stranger here, I'm a long, long way from my home
    G+G            D MajorD
And I'm going to change all the things I find strange
  E minorEm        Cadd9Cadd9
For I am not one man alone

G+G       D MajorD        E minorEm           Cadd9Cadd9
Yes I'm only a stranger, I'm a long, long way from my home
    G+G            D MajorD
And I'm going to change all the things I find strange
  E minorEm          Cadd9Cadd9
For I know that I'm not alone
  E minorEm   D MajorD    Cadd9Cadd9
Yes I know, I'm not alone
   G+G
Not alone
