Father

Intro : D F#m D F#m
D
Wait a minute let me speak,
let me share the grief that lies 
              E
behind your smile.
D
There's people turning bad feeling 
sad, misunderstanding,
                       E
And the world's going mad.
D                              
You watch TV, and you shake your 
            E
tortured head.
A
And I watch the world,
          E
And I really think we might be 
better off.

CHORUS
C#m                               
Father, you've been a long time so
   Bm
 lonely,
                C#m
Hear me now, Father,
                         D       
You've got a stake in my soul, so 
        E
console me.
    F#m        E         F#m
I need it now, we need it now.


D
Genocide reveals the foulest swoop,
The sweetest lips received the 
                E
soured fruit again,
D
A killer swears he's just a thief,
A thief declares he's just a victim 
     E
of kinds.
A                              
And I watch the world, and there 
              E
really isn't more to life than 
dying.
