Verse 1:
Dm             F
Some of us are born and then 
G              F
some of us are born again
Dm              F
Some of us are scared to death 
    G                 F
and some just don't believe in
   Dm           F      G    F
it Something is always wrong
          Dm F    G
There's a lie an idea 
        F
I can't get behind
Dm     F
No one knows what's
G    F     Dm F
right some try Some

Chorus 1:
           F
They sing "Who 
            F
will save us now?
It's our life but
   Dm
we don't want to live
       F
it" We want to be 
    F
told now by something
or something who's
Dm
better than us
       F
Who we know 
we can trust
       G
Who'll always 
               Dm
protect us but keep 
us scared to death so 
   F
we never ask questions
       G
Who'll dictate the 
         Dm
consequences of our actions 
    F
and give us peace of mind 
          F
about our miserable lives
   G
Confined and content 
All we want is 
               Dm  F G F Dm-F-G-F
a place we can hide


Verse 2:
Dm
So we've always 
F
fought our wars 
    G
for what we're told
         F
is worth dying for
Dm
Land and love and 
F
god and wealth 
    G
but men in charge 
   F
protect themselves
Dm      F      G
You can rest assured 
that it's the 
Dm   F        G
young and the poor 
              F
who've fought all them
         Dm       
Our wars led to 
F        G  F
death by men who 
     Dm   F    G
they chose and hoped 
         F
would protect them 


Chorus 2:
     F
and "Who will save
  F
us now? It's our
            Dm
life but we don't 
want to live it"
    F
And all you'll get 
  F
is down because the 
people you elect to
   Dm
protect your best interests
     F
will just protect themselves
    G
and all their investments
    Dm
and even the few with the
F
best of intentions will
G
just push their views
     Dm
what they think is right 
            F
for you and everyone
else You can't think 
for yourself because
G
you've chosen to let 
                       Dm F G F Dm-F-G-F-
someone else do it for you


Verse 3:
Dm
So we're left to 
F
drift between 
    G
our waking life and 
F
all of our dreams
  Dm
Reality is 
F            G
relative and all 
that's all the 
F
advice I'll give
Dm       F         G
Life and death are hard
F             Dm      F
  They're such strange 
    G           F
and complicated issues
   Dm         F
So listen and listen 
G   F    Dm     F
well for insight
    G
but no one knows
       F
what's right for you


Chorus 3:
 F               F
"Who will save us now? It's 
              Dm
a wrong and irrelevant question 
        F           F
Because we figure it out
with the people who love us
    Dm
Who call us half brothers
    F
for lessons we've learned
        G
for our fathers and mothers
    Dm
not looking for someone
   F
to find our solutions 
G
Fight all our battles 
   Dm
or show us what truth is 
        F
It's by working hard to 
find our own peace of mind
G
Living and learning until we 
                         Dm    F G F Dm-F-G-F
know what's right for our lives
