[Verse 1]
D
High upon a hillside
A preacher tells a story to a crowd
D
He tells the same old story
A thousand times he's read that story loud
C
He wants to give the answers but his words are only
Bm
Answers to nothing
[Verse 2]
D
Lying in my bedroom
A man comes on my TV with a grin
D
He tells me to believe him
He said that I should put my faith in him
C
He says he has the answers
But his words are only
Bm
Answers to nothing
[Chorus]
Em
Oh, oh, oh, believed for the last time
Em
Oh, oh, oh, deceived for the last time
[Verse 3]
D
Hear the chosen leaders
Say we can't stay sitting on the fence
D
Believe the stuff they feed us
They're buying guns and bombs for our defence
C
They think this is the answer
But their thoughts are only
D
Answers to nothing
[Verse 4]
D
Where is all the friendship
How can all the comradeship be done
D
What of all the teachings
What of things we learned when we were young
C
It doesn't bear the asking, 'cos the answers given were
Bm
Answers to nothing
[Chorus]
