[1st Verse]
     Fmaj7
Dear God
                     F
Why is there so much pain
               C
And hunger and diseases
                          G
Why are people praying in vain
                    Fmaj7
And killing in your name
                   F
They justify their kill
                     C             
And how can you just sit and watch 
                      G
the rich impose their will
                  Fmaj7
On people who are poor
                    F
And sleeping on the floor
                  C                
Why do we have to lose the ones we 
                 G
love in times of war
                  Fmaj7
Why do we have to burn
                    F
Our fingers just to learn
                  C             
Why do we have to suffer getting 
            G         Gsus2
nothing in return


[Chorus]
     Fmaj7
Dear God
                       F
Why don't you stop the violence
   C                               
We hope, we pray, but all we get is
 G
 silence

Dear God
                   F
Our prayers remain unanswered
     C                             
As a hundred thousand children die 
   G       Gsus2
of cancer

Dear God


[2nd Verse]
     Fmaj7
Dear God
                  F
I think I'm going insane
                     C
The guilty crush the innocent
                   G
It's such a bloody shame
                    Fmaj7
It'll always be the same
                    F
And that will never change
                     C             
Now how can you just sit and watch 
                 G
them crucify the saints
                  Fmaj7
You want us to be loyal
                  F
You want us to be true
       C                       G
But I cannot remember getting any 
help from you
  Fmaj7
If it's true that Jesus
   F
He died for our sins
     C                         
Then why all these tsunamis and 
       G                  Gsus2
these hurricane winds


[Chorus]
     Fmaj7
Dear God
                       F
Why don't you stop the violence
   C                               
We hope, we pray, but all we get is
 G
 silence
     Fmaj7
Dear God
                   F
Our prayers remain unanswered
     C                             
As a hundred thousand children die 
   G       Gsus2
of cancer
     Fmaj7*
Dear God


[3rd Verse]
     Fmaj7
Dear God
                     F
Why is their so much grief
                     C
And rape and murder
                         G
How can you expect us to believe
                    Fmaj7
And get down on our knees
            F
Without any guarantees
                 C               
The afterlife is promised just to 
                 G
make us feel at ease
                      Fmaj7
So we won't cross the line
              F
And stand our time
                C                  
Longing for the afterlife, waiting 
      G
for a sign
                  Fmaj7
A sign that never came
                  F
If Jesus took the blame
                       C     
Then why are desperate people 
                     G        Gsus2
carrying a ball and chain


[Chorus]
     Fmaj7
Dear God
                       F
Why don't you stop the violence
   C                               
We hope, we pray, but all we get is
 G
 silence
     Fmaj7
Dear God
                   F
Our prayers remain unanswered
     C                             
As a hundred thousand children die 
   G       Gsus2
of cancer
     Fmaj7*
Dear God
