Am G Am G 
You tell us that we‘re wrong

Nothing we can say will make you see

You‘ve got a heart of stone, you can never feel

Am G Am Em 
Somebody cut out your eyes, you refuse to see 
Am Em Am Em 
Ah, somebody cut out your heart, you refuse to feel 
 
F G F G 
And you live in a shell, you create your own hell 
F G Am G 
You live in the past and talk about war

When it‘s a life you could save
