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
