  			(verse 1) 
C       G       F        C 
You're lonesome in the morning, 
F       C       G         C - C/B 
In the morning where you lay, 
Am7        G     F         C 
Toss your head against the window,

You look so young, 
F                C    E 
Have ever been afraid, 
Am7            D7 
You look so young, 
F                     C    E 
And I'm feeling so ashamed, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
Seflish thoughts and selfish reasons, 
Lead to my own demise, 
Once this world is taken from me, 
Stripped bare soul will rise, 
 
 
 
(chorus)

You look so young,

And I'm feeling so ashamed,

 When will you ever learn,

I see familiar faces,

Been down this road before, 
Am7      G          F         C 
Like a steer we're led to slaughter,

Why fight what carved in stone,
