Capo 1
 
 
Verse 1:
D                  A
Come, tell me your trouble
             Em
I'm not your answer, 
    G               D
but I'm a listening ear
 
 
D                    A
Reality has left you reeling
                 Em        G
All facts and no feeling
                 D
No faith and all fear
 
 
Chorus 1:
Em
I don't know why the good man will fall
Bm
While the wicked one stands
Em
And our lives blow about
                   A
Like flags on the land
 
 
Verse 2:
D                      A
Who's at fault is not important
                    Em           G
Good intentions lie dormant
                 D
And we're all to blame
 
      D                   A
While apathy acts like an ally
          Em        G
My enemy and I
               D
Are one in the same
 
 
Chorus 2:
Em
I don't know why the innocents fall
Bm
While the monsters still stand
Em
And our lives blow about 
                  A
Like flags on the land
 
Em
I don't know why our words are so proud
Bm
Yet their promise so thin
Em
And our lives blow about
                  A
Like flags in the wind
 
 
Em Bm Em A
 
 
Bridge:
Em
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh
G           D           A
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhh
 
 
Chorus 3:
G                     D
You who mourn will be comforted
        A                     Em
You who hunger will hunger no more
G                     D                   A
All the last shall be first, of this I am sure
 
G                     D
You who weep now will laugh again
        A                    Em
All you lonely, be lonely no more
G                    D                   A
Yes the last will be first, of this I am sure
 
 
Ending:
Em
I don't know why the innocents fall
Bm
While the monsters stand
Em
I don't know why the little ones thirst
    G          A             Bm
But I know the last shall be first
G          A             Bm
I know the last shall be first
G          A             Bm
I know the last shall be first
