[E]
Get out of bed, put on your shoes
[E]
Make some coffee, turn on the news
[E]                                        [B7]
There's people dyin' cryin', singing the blues
[E]
In every age of the centuries' span
[A]
Wise men try to understand
[E]                [B7]               [E]
Why sorrow is forever the song of man 


Hope lives in the hearts of men
Hatred creeps in now and then
I hate to tell you kid, but it'll never end
Women cry as the men kill
Always have and always will
You know we're never gonna run out of blood to spill 


Chorus:
[A]             [E]
Hearts break, hearts mend
[B7]                      [E]
Pick up the pieces, you get up again
    [A]                    [E]
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
       [E]                [B7]          [E]
That's just the way the world goes around 


Lions kill and rabbits run
Men make bread and butter and guns
Death comes around to visit everyone
Empires crumble and fall from the
Twin towers to the wailing wall
One thing remains, the terrible beauty of it all 

Chorus 

Solo
