Tears of Rage

	  		Verse:  
 C                  Am                 F                                  Dm  
We carried you in our arms on Independence Day 
Bb                                  F            C   
 And now you'd throw us all aside and put us all away   
 C                                 Am                   F                                  Dm 
Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat a father so?   
Bb                         F                    C  
 To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him "No" 


E7                   Am   
 Tears of rage, tears of grief   
F                              C 
 Why must I always be the thief?   
E7                                                  Am 
 Come to me now, you know we're so low 
F               C7    F  C 
 And life is brief  


Verse: 
It was all very painless 
When you went out to receive   
All that false instruction 
Which we never could believe   
And now the heart is filled with gold 
As if it was a purse   
But, oh, what kind of love is this 
Which goes from bad to worse? 

(Chorus) 

Verse: 
We pointed you the way to go 
And scratched your name in sand 
Though you just thought it was nothing more 
Than a place for you to stand   
I want you to know that while we watched 
You discovered no one would be true   
And I myself was among 
The ones who thought 
It was just a childish thing to do 

(Chorus)
