Am I foolish to ask, laying motionless and black,
G G/F# Bm A A/F# G
Father, if you have a reason for lack of better words
G G/F# G G/F# A
For the pain and suf-fer-ing
G G/F# G G/F# A
I shake my fist and scream
Bm G D Dsus D Dsus
Where were you, in the night, when the roof came down?
Bm G D Dsus D Dsus
Where were you, holding light, when the fire went out?
Bm G D Dsus D Dsus
Where were you, El Shaddai, El Shaddai, El Shaddai?
Bm G D Dsus D Dsus
Where were you, where were you, where were you, we cry
verse 2:
G G/F# Bm G G/F# Bm
When the gunman in the town, twenty babies in the ground
G G/F# Bm A
Were you listening, did you hear the same sounds?
A/F# G
Were you around?
G G/F# G G/F# A
For the pain and suf-fer-ing
G G/F# G G/F# A
I gnash my teeth and scream
