( Natalie Merchant / Indian Love Bride ) 


C
people downcast, is despair
G
see the disillusion everywhere 
F
hoping their bad luck will change
C
gets a little harder every day 

C
people struggle, people fight
G
for the simple pleasures in their lives
F
but trouble comes from everywhere
C
it's a little more than you can bear

Am
I know that it will hurt
Dm 
I know that it will break your heart
C
the way things are
G
and the way they've been
C
and the way they've always been 

C
people shallow, self-absorbed
G
see the push and shove for their rewards
F
I, me, my is on their minds
C
you can read about it in their eyes 

C
people ruthless, people cruel
G
see the damage that some people do
F
full of hatred, full of pride
C
it's enough to make you loose your mind 


Am
I know that it will hurt
Dm 
I know that it will break your heart
C
the way things are
G
and the way they've been
Am
I know that it will hurt
Dm
I know that it will break your heart
C
the way things are
G
and the way they've been 

Bb F
don't spread the discontent
G
don't spread the lies
Bb F
don't make the same mistakes
G
with your own life
C
you never will let love survive
