[Verse]
Am
Oh, Little Billy's got a gun

                      E7
Little Billy's having fun

Am
Shooting bottles on the wall

                               E7
Dreams the hero come home from war
[Pre Chorus]
Dm
Is this real?
Is this make believe?
A7
You'd think we'd know how everything's supposed to be

Dm
Like a train blowing full steam ahead

A7
Can't hear what you're saying
With everybody screaming [Chorus]
Am    G   D/F#     G
I'm afraid, can't lie

Am     G          D/F#        G
Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry

Am      G   D/F#     G
In the dark, be the light

Am        G          Am
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight

Am   G    D/F#  G
To believe is blind

Am          G     D/F#    G
Don't sacrifice another child

Am    G  D/F#        G
It's not black and white

Am             G                 Am
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"
[Instrumental Part] Bm7 - E7 [Verse]
Am
The truth might not be crystal clear

                                                    E7
But if might is right, there's no room for love in here

Am
Oh, we pray to God and hope he's listening

                                        E7
Then a man with a gun brings the demons in
[Pre Chorus]
Dm
Oh, we live as if our hands are tied

A7
But is it really so hard
To do what we know is right?
Dm
To protect the things
That we hold dear
A7
Must we do things that we should never forgive?
[Chorus]
Am    G   D/F#     G
I'm afraid, can't lie

Am     G          D/F#        G

Am      G   D/F#     G
In the dark, be the light

Don't let go, baby, hold on tight

Am   G    D/F#  G
To believe is blind

Am          G     D/F#    G
Don't sacrifice another child

Am    G  D/F#        G
It's not black and white

Am             G                 Am
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"
[Instrumental Part] Bm7 - E7 [Bridge]
Dm
Run and hide
Don't ask why
                                     A7
Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes

Dm
When it's too late to untwist the knife

A7
How do we face hatred with the love inside us?
[Chorus]
Am    G   D/F#     G
I'm afraid, can't lie

Am     G          D/F#        G
