 Word just came from upstate Joe

[tab]Am               C                F  C
 This time it's Dayton, southwest Ohio

      Am            C            F   C
Last night El Paso, Texas counted 22 dead

Am                   C             F              C
 Soon the brass will offer up their thoughts and prayers

Am                  C                F    C
 Soon there'll be protests in the street

        Am         C
And the media from out of town

       F              C
Will chew it up and spit it out

     Am                  C
Then move on to the next one

   F             C
Before we even grieve

            Am                 C
Yeah, then move on to the next one

   G
Before we even grieve

              F       C          Am             C
Some say we start to die on the day that we're born

       F                           C
But no one wants to live life on their knees

           F       C          Am             C
Maybe we start to die on the day that we're born

        Am         G               C
But we deserve to live life in between

   Am                  C                 F          C
A husband kissed the cross that bears his Margie's name

      Am            C             F     C
And promises he'll see her once again

              Am         C
Won't see her children grow

               F       C
Won't see their love grow old

                   Am            C
Last night their dream became a nightmare

           F               C
And their nightmare has no end

                   Am            C
Last night their dream became a nightmare

           G
And their nightmare has no end

              F       C          Am             C
Some say we start to die on the day that we're born

       F                           C
But no one wants to live life on their knees

           F       C          Am             C
Maybe we start to die on the day that we're born

        Am         G               C
But we deserve to live life in between

               F          C
These days it's hard to sleep

           Am       C
When I lay my head down

                F         C
What if it was your loved one

      G
Laying on the ground

           F        C
I'm left to think about

       Am      C
What if, what now?

          F        C
Dear God I wanna pray

               F       C
But tonight I have my doubts
