Father(Chords)

	        
Intro: D F#m D F#m 

D 
Wait a minute let me speak, 
                                               E 
let me share the grief that lies behind your smile. 
D 
There's people turning bad feeling sad, misunderstanding, 
                       E 
And the world's going mad. 
D                                          E 
You watch TV, and you shake your tortured head. 
A 
And I watch the world, 
          E 
And I really think we might be better off. 



C#m                                  Bm 
Father, you've been a long time so lonely, 
                C#m 
Hear me now, Father, 
                         D               E 
You've got a stake in my soul, so console me. 
    F#m        E         F#m 
I need it now, we need it now. 



D 
Genocide reveals the foulest swoop, 
                                               E 
The sweetest lips received the soured fruit again, 
D 
A killer swears he's just a thief, 
                                         E 
A thief declares he's just a victim of kinds. 
A                                            E 
And I watch the world, and there really isn't more to life than dying. 

Chorus 

Solo C#m & Bm on chords : D (A)-E 

A 
And I watch the world,
