[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Warplanes fly in terror waves, orders are withdrawn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
