verse 1
Em C G
Do we close our curtains when we hear our neighbour call
D C G
So we won’t see him suffer when his back's to the wall?
~ Em C G
Do we sit back silent and watch a brother fall?
D C G C G C
Do we love so little, we are no friend at all?
D
Do we look right past him
C G ~
Tell him life’s a glass thing
Em C D
Prone to shatter, full of vast unknowns
G
Where we pay for every last thing
C G ~
And retribution’s fast sting
Em C D G C G C
Comes from hands forever casting stones
verse 2
Em C G
Do we cut and condemn and never comprehend
D C G ~
That trust can turn into a dividend
Em C G
And love will leave you richer in the end
D C G C G C
Or do we love so little, we are no true friend
D
Oh, is it easier to blast him
C G ~
And spend our time forecasting
Em C D
That he’ll, no doubt, lose everything he owns
G
We remember every past thing
C G ~
Our memory’s everlasting
Em C D G C G C
And so we are forever casting stones

Em C G
When he looks on luck, do we have to have it

When he bends his back, do we reach to stab it

If he has a little hope, do we always grab it

Do we look right past him

Prone to shatter, full of vast unknowns

Where we pay for every last thing

Comes from hands forever

Remember casting are memories everlasting
