[Intro]
Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7*
[Verse 1]
Am Fmaj7 Am
I always thought, I always thought, that there was something different, setting us apart
Am Fmaj7* Am
That I was led, that I was led by men with sober minds and sympathetic hearts
Fmaj7 Am
I swore an oath, swore an oath, but never knew just what it was to take a life
Am Fmaj7* Fmaj7
I play at God, play at God across such distances and from so great a height
[Chorus]
Am G
But I am never sure who I am killing
Am G
How many innocents were in the building?
Fmaj7 C G7
I drop death out of the
Am G
No longer human beings, no longer people
Am G
Just targets on a screen, none of it's real
Fmaj7 C G7 Fmaj7 G Am
I drop death out of the sky... Tell me why
[Bridge]
Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7*
[Verse 2]
Am Fmaj7 Am
One day they sent, one day they sent me to the chaplain when I said I can't go on
Am Fmaj7* Fmaj7
All he said, all he said was just to shut my mouth and do the "will of God"
[Chorus]
Am G
But I am never sure who I am killing
Am G
How many innocents were in the building?
Fmaj7 C G7
I drop death out of the
Am G
No longer human beings, no longer people
Am G
Just targets on a screen, none of it's real
Fmaj7 C G7 Fmaj7 G Dm
I drop death out of the sky... Tell me why
[Bridge]
Dm Fmaj7 x4
[Outro]
Am
Tell me why?
G7 Fmaj7
"To make us safe," so it would seem
Dm
But we shoot further than we dream
C/G Am
Can't we see? We only justify
G7 Fmaj7
Someone's resolve to rise against
Dm
And to avenge the innocent
Dm C/G Fmaj7*
And defend the ones that still survive
Am
I'm still asking "why?"
