Everybody's empty, but it's [Bbm] not for food
[C] And everybody's praying [Db] here to be rescued
Examining our sins, it's hard not [C] to conclude
[Fm] We're screwed
[Bb] [Fm]
The world's in flames, these maddened days of [Bbm] black and white
No [C] shades of grey to keep at bay the [Db] darkest night
There's never been a song that could save a life
[Fm]
[Db] Blow the [Ab] horn, blow the horn
[Bbm] Give a voice [Fm] to all who mourn
[Bb] For the souls who search [C] to be reborn [Fm] tonight
[Db] [Ab] Forgiveness like the sharpest knife
[Bb] Oh God, inscribe [Fm] me in the book of life
[Bb] I've been [C] hungry since [Fm] before the dawn
Tired and full of uncried [Bbm] tears I still can't shed
[Ab] [C] Stored up with the unsaid [Ab] things [Db] we never said
You wanted forgiveness, [Ab] I wasn't [C] ready yet
[Fm] Now you're dead
[F] To [Fm] all the souls who lost [Bbm] themselves, I sing for you
[C] Apart from that, there's nothing [Db] more that I can do
And though I know it's useless, it kind [C] of helps me through
[Fm]
[Db] Blow the [Ab] horn, blow the horn
[Bbm] Give a [Fm] voice to all who [Bbm] mourn
For the souls who search to be [Fm] reborn tonight
[Db] Forgiveness [Ab] like the sharpest [Bbm] knife
Oh God, [Fm] inscribe me in the book of [Bb] life
I've been hungry since [Fm] before the dawn
I want to see my children [Bbm] out in the world
[C] Grown into well and [Db] fun little girls
Why [Ab] wouldn't you want that [Gb] too?
[C] The older you get, the [Fm] more friends you lose
Next year I won't disappear [Bbm] in fire or flood
[C] Next year I'll still be here [Db] to do some good
I won't be taken by pills or [C] thrills or wine
I should be [Fm] doing fine
[Db] Blow the [Ab] horn, blow the [Bbm] horn
Give a [Fm] voice to all who [Bbm] mourn
For the souls [C] who search to be [Fm] reborn tonight
[Db] Forgiveness like [Ab] the sharpest knife
