Em
What has happened to our town
C Em C Eb F G
There's people sleeping on the ground
Em
Cold and lost, they fear the night
C Em C Eb F
Left alone, they'll lose the fight
[Pre Chorus]
Em7 D C B7
Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime
Em9 Dm7 C B7
Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Em9 Dm7 Cmaj7
Haven't you had it knowing nothings getting solved
Am9 B7
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
[Chorus]
Eb F
We could stop the hurting for awhile
Bb Cmaj7
We could stop the hurting for awhile
Eb F
If we found a way to reconcile
Bb Cmaj7
We could stop the hurtin
[Verse 2]
Em7
Families living in their cars
C
and kids run numbers out of bars
Em
Knowing pride won't pay the bills
C Em C Eb F
Men work jobs beneath their skills
[Pre Chorus]
Em7 D C B7
Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime
Em9 Dm7 C B7
Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Em9 Dm7 Cmaj7
Haven't you had it knowing nothings getting solved
Am9 B7
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
[Chorus]
Eb F
We could stop the hurting for awhile
Bb Cmaj7
We could stop the hurting for awhile
Eb F
If we found a way to reconcile
Bb Cmaj7
We could stop the hurting
