In found the other chords for this song not accurate enough throughout, particularly in the chorus, so hopefully this is closer to the original. [Intro] Bb/C F/C Bb/C C Bb/C F/C Bb/C C [Verse]
Dm7
If you take the tears from crying eyes

Dm7
will the hurt just disappear

Dm7
put a weapon in the hands of a frightened man

Dm7
will he show no fear

Dm7
so we stand and we watch as the city lights

Dm7
go out one by one

Dm7
Mother Nature sits on the other side

Bb     C      Dm7
with a loaded gun
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb/D
Why is there blue sky

Dm7
why is there red sky,

meet the red sky

should the rules have to change at all

Dm7
Take the motion from a spinning wheel and watch it stop

Dm7
Take the danger out of a naked flame and what have you got

Dm7
If you take the anger out of a broken heart, you feel no pain

Dm7                                          Bb            C     Dm7
