[Verse 1]
DCGGCD
Everybody stumblin' 'round in the dark 'cause the lights're too dim to see
DCGGCD
Everybody's got an axe to grind and they call it "Bein' free"
GFCCFG
Everybody with their skin so thin, lookin' out for Number One
DCGGCD
Nobody wants to be left holdin' the bag when it's all done
AG
There ain't much left to say, I can't stand it anymore
[Chorus]
DCFF#G
(Lord, Lord,) These children have gone crazy
DCFF#G
(Lord, Lord,) Please come down and save me
DCFF#G
(Lord, Lord,) You got to believe me

(Lord, Lord,) Lord, strike me dead
[Verse 2]
DCGGCD
Everybody wants to blame somebody for the sorry shape they're in
DCGGCD
Everybody ought to take a step back, see where it all begins
GFCCFG
Nobody is listenin', they're all spittin' in the wind
DCGGCD
Somebody please cover my eyes, tell me, When's it gonna end?
AG
Take me outta here, I can't stand it anymore
[Chorus]
