G       D               C        G
So many times I've been fooling myself
G/F#   Em            D             C      G
It's a hard hand to play falls on nobody else
G            D             C           G     G/F#
Those in the city reaching out to grab hold
     Em                   D
Of something they've only heard about
    C           G
And never been shown
Em                      A7
Who do you turn to and what do you say
Em                           A7
When she's got the power and she got the way
         C
Does it matter at all
    A7
Who survives and who falls
     C
When we live under darkness
    Em           C       Em      C
And hide behind walls

SOLO

G           D         C            G
Why would anyone even try to hold sway
G/F#  Em      D
Over somebody else
   C            G
In such a small way
G             D              C           G
Where are the answers to the problems we face
G/F#       Em
Who would teach us
       D           C         G
About  sharing and living in grace
Em                      A7
Who do you turn to and what do you say
Em                           A7
When she's got the power and she got the way
         C
Does it matter at all
    A
Who survives and who falls
     C
When we live under darkness
    Em   C       Em     G  D   C   G
And hide behind walls
