[INTRO] A G D (X 4)
A                         D
People on the street now, faces long and grim

A                           D        G
Souls are feeling heavy and faith is growing thin

A                          D
Fears are getting stronger you can feel them on the rise

A                                           D
Hopelessness got some by the throat you can see it in their eyes

       A       G D   A       G D
I said how come       How come

A                          D
Everybody on a shoestring, everybody in a hole

A                             D                         G
Everybody on an old jet plane crossing their fingers and toes

A                       D
Government man spin his politics till they got you pinned

A
Everybody trying to reach out to each other

         D
But they don't know where to begin
[CHORUS]
       A                          D
I said how come, I can't tell the free world from living hell

       A      G D
I said how come

A                       D
How come all I see is a child of god in misery

       A       G D    A  G D (X 2)
I said how come

A                          D
The pistol now as prophet, the bullet some kind of lord and king

    A                                  D                   G
But pain is the only promise that this so called savior is gonna bring

A                      D
Love can be a liar and justice can be a thief

A                                          D
And freedom can be an empty cup from which everybody want to drink
[CHORUS]
       A                         D
I said how come I can't tell the free world from living hell

       A      G D
I said how come

A                       D

       A        G D
I said how come

          A

             D
Killing man, killing man, killing man

        A             G D
I don't understand it

          A
