Em F#m
Make the sadness go away
Em
Come back another day
F#m
For years I've tried to teach
Em
But their eyes are empty
F#m
Empty, too, I have become
Em
For them I must die
F#m
A sad and troubled race
Em
An ungrateful troubled place
Bm
I see the sadness in their eyes
Em
Melancholy in their cries
D
Devoid of all the passion
G
The human spirit cannot die
D
Look at the pain around me
Em
This is what I cry for
Bm
Look at the pain around me
Em
This is what I'll die for
(like the start)
Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
The things I've said and done
Don't matter to anyone
But still, you push me to see
something I can never be
Why am I their shattered king
I don't mean anything
I see the sadness in their eyes...
Solo:
E D Bm Am
