Chords

[Intro] G D G D Bm D G D Bm D G [Verse 1]
Em
Warplanes fly in terror waves, orders are withdrawn
Horses rear with nostrils flared, a child is stillborn
    Am
All afternoon as hell pours down, families stand like rock

C                                                G
Holding hands in fear and rage, reeling with the shock
[Chorus]
Em       C             D           
Who will answer to themselves

    Em              D
The simple question why?

Em      C                D           
We must search within ourselves

  Em              C
Beneath the angry sky
[Verse 2]
Em
Nothing moves, the town lies still behind its ruined face
A single oak defiant in the silent marketplace
  Am
A school of shattered lives inside the broken window panes

    C                                                   G
The hope of all those burned inside is all that still remains
[Chorus]
Em       C             D           
Who will answer to themselves

    Em              D
The simple question why?

Em      C                D           
We must search within ourselves

  Em              C
Beneath the angry sky
[Instrumental] C Am Bm Am Bm [Bridge]
  C                                  Em
A light of hope still burns behind a single shuttered door

   Am                                 C               D
Despite its broken heart, the town is stronger than before
[Chorus]
Em       C             D           
Who will answer to themselves

    Em              D
The simple question why?

Em      C                D           
We must search within ourselves

  Em              C
Beneath the angry sky
[Chorus]
Em       C             D           
Who will answer to themselves

    Em              D
The simple question why?

Em      C                D           
We must search within ourselves

  Em              C      Em
Beneath the angry sky
