Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
Come, tell me your trouble
I'm not your answer,
but I'm a listening ear
Reality has left you reeling
All facts and no feeling
No faith and all fear
Chorus 1
I don't know why the good man will fall
While the wicked one stands
And our lives blow about
Like flags on the land
Verse 2
Who's at fault is not important
Good intentions lie dormant
And we're all to blame
While apathy acts like an ally
My enemy and I
Are one in the same
Chorus 2
I don't know why the innocents fall
While the monsters still stand
And our lives blow about
Like flags on the land
I don't know why our words are so proud
Yet their promise so thin
And our lives blow about
Like flags in the wind
Bridge
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhh
Chorus 3
You who mourn will be comforted
You who hunger will hunger no more
All the last shall be first, of this I am sure
You who weep now will laugh again
All you lonely, be lonely no more
Yes the last will be first, of this I am sure
I don't know why the innocents fall
While the monsters stand
I don't know why the little ones thirst
But I know the last shall be first
I know the last shall be first
I know the last shall be first
