Misc Musicals – The Outsiders - Hopeless War (Guitar)

Em                D    G/D
A battle's raging in my head

Em                          D         G/B
I swear, your friends, they wanted me dead

Em                 D     G/D
I never would have fought before

Em                 D            G/B
But the Socs, they declared this war

        Em                D G/D
But this war, it eats you up inside

           Em               D       G/B
Till you're blinded by your foolish pride

         Em           D         G/D
When you only see the world one way

          Em                   D    G/B
It's only black and white, but never grey

C
One by one, we fall in line

B7
The same mistake a thousand times

Em
Doing what we've all been raised to do

    C
Now Johnny's hurt and Bob has died

B7
When will we be satisfied?

C                                   Cm
I know somewhere inside of you, you feel the same way too

       G/B                B7
It's a hopeless war we're fighting

                  C
And we don't even know what for

    Cm
The truth is

            G
Even in the end

            B7
Even if you win

                  C
It doesn't change a thing

                     G
You'll still be the losers

            B7
Destined to fail

                 C
And we'll be the lucky ones

              Cm
Got the whole world by the tail

   G                     B7
I came to you because I thought you might be

       C                 Cm
The only one who understands

     G                 A
This hopeless war is so completely

C               Cm   G
Hopeless in the end
