[Verse]
AmThere are children standing here,
EArms outstretched into the sky,
GTears drying on their face.
DHe has been here.
AmBrothers lie in shallow graves.
EFathers lost without a trace.
GA nation blind to their disgrace,
DSince he's been here.
[Chorus]
AmAnd I see no bravery,
ENo bravery,
GIn your eyes anymore.
DOnly sadness.
AmAnd I see no bravery,
ENo bravery,
GIn your eyes any more
DOnly sadnesFs
DOnly sadnesFs D  
[Verse]
AmHouses burnt beyond repair.
EThe smell of death is in the air.
GA woman weeping in despair says,
DHe has been here.
AmTracer lighting up the sky.
EIt's another families turn, to die.
GA child afraid to even cry out says,
DHe has been here.
[Chorus]
AmAnd I see no bravery,
ENo bravery,
GIn your eyes anymore.
DOnly sadness
AmAnd I see no bravery,
ENo bravery,
GIn your eyes any more

[Verse]
AmThere are children standing here,
EArms outstretched into the sky,
GBut no one asks the question why,
DHe has been here.
AmOld men kneel to accept their fate.
EWives and daughters cut and raped.
GA generation drenched in hate.
DSays he has been here.
[Chorus]
AmAnd I see no bravery,
ENo bravery,
GIn your eyes anymore.
DOnly sadness.
AmAnd I see no bravery,
ENo bravery,
GIn your eyes any more...
DAnymore
