Tell Me Why

==

[F#m]In my dream, [E]children sing
A [D]song of love for every boy and [C#7]girl
The [F#m]sky is blue and [E]fields are green
And [D]laughter is the language of the [C#7]world
Then I [D]wake and all I [C#m]see
Is a [Bm]world full of people in [C#7]need.

Chorus: Tell me [F#m]why(why) does it [E]have to be like this
Tell me [D]why (why) is there something i have [C#7]missed
Tell me [F#m]why (why) ‘cos I don't [E]understand
When so [D]many need somebody
We don't give a helping [C#7]hand Tell me [F#m]why?

2. [F#m]Everyday I [E]ask myself
What [D]will I have to do to be a [C#7]man
[F#m]Do I have to [E]stand and fight
To [D]prove to everybody who I [C#7]am
Is that [D]what my life is [C#m]for
To [Bm]waste in a world full of [C#7]war?

Chorus: Tell me [F#m]why(why) does it [E]have to be like this
Tell me [D]why (why) is there something I have [C#7]missed
Tell me [F#m]why (why) ‘cos I don't [E]understand
When so [D]many need somebody
We don't give a helping [C#7]hand

Bridge:Tell me [Bm]why? tell me [C#m]why
Tell me [D]why? (tell me why)
Just tell me [C#7]why, why, why?

Tell me [Abm]why (why,why,does the tiger run)

Tell me [E]why (why,why do we never learn)
Can someone tell us why we let the [Eb7]forest burn?

([Abm]why,why do we say we care)
Tell me [F#]why(why,why do we stand and stare)
Tell me [E]why(why,why do the dolphins cry)
