[Intro]

E  G  E  D
E  G  E  D


[Verse 1]

E               G             E                  D
How to stop the murdering, by now we should have learned 
E                G                 E              D
If we don't then we're a sham, bad overwhelms the good
    E              D
Bad overwhelms the good
E           G             E           D
Oh oh-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh oh oh


[Verse 2]

E               G                    E          D
What I've seen, yes it's changed how I see humankind 
  E                G                  E                   D
I used to think progress was made, we could get something right
   E                   D
We could get something right


[Chorus 1]
B        D          G             F#
  Enough is enough, a line in the sand
B       D                 G                F# 
  Seven or eight thousand people killed by hand
B              D             G                F#
  They stepped off the edge, they did not step back
B       D                G            A       B
  If we have not learned by now, then we're a sham
E  G  E  D
E  G  E  D


[Verse 3]

E                 G            E                  D
When we first got to the camp, supplies were not enough
  E               G             E              D
I saw a displaced family eating a cold horse's hoof
   E              D 
Oh a cold horse's hoof
E           G             E           D
Oh oh-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh oh oh


[Verse 4]

   E              G                 E                 D
We sent up tents, brought in water, air drops were dispersed
    E            G               E                 D
But I saw people kill each other just to get there first
   E                 D 
Oh just to get there first


[Chorus 2]

B        D          G             F#
  Enough is enough, a line in the sand
B       D                 G                F# 
  Seven or eight thousand people killed by hand
B              D             G                F#
  They stepped off the edge, they did not step back
B       D                G            A       B
  If we have not learned by now, then we're a sham

D  C#  F#  E  D


[Outro]

D            C#             F#          E     
What we did, why we did it, I make no excuse 
   D                    C#           F#            E    
We got things wrong but I believe we also did some good
D            C#             F#          E     
What we did, why we did it, I make no excuse 
D            C#            F#              E     
I believe we have a future to do something good

E  G  E  D
E  G  E  D

      E         G         E           D 
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh-oh oh oh oh
      E         G         E 
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
