Em     C 


 
           G 
You could hardly hear the questions 
         Em 
For the shouting in the room 
       G 
There are no easy answers 
          Em 
And it's hard to break through 

         C                   D 
All the things they each believe in 
      C                  D 
Have drawn these battle lines 
           C           D 
But could any of this fighting 
    Am                     D 
Be worth these children's lives 
 

 
Em            Am       C           Em 
  No, no-o-o, huh huh huh it isn't so 
            Am       C 
No, no-o-o, huh huh huh 
 

 
           G              C 
How do we get there from here 
Em                       D 
How do we take the next step 
           G              C 
How do we get there from here 
Em                           D 
Instead of saying we're not ready yet 

           G                  C 
How do we learn to trust each other 
            Em             D 
Instead of living life in fear 
           G              C            Em    D 
How do we get there from here-e-e-e-ere  


Instrumental: Em     C 

 
       G 
Every station every paper 
      Em 
Has another hard headline 
       G 
So we hang the colored ribbons 
         Em 
For the loss of more lives 

          C                D 
When the ink dries on our story 
           C         D 
What will history reveal 
              C                D 
Will we have been part of the problem 
      Am             D 
Or a part of how we heal 
 

 
Em                Am       C            Em 
Oh, oh, oh oh oh, huh huh huh, I wanna know-ow 
          Am       C 
Oh oh oh, huh huh huh
