[Verse 1]
 Em7A little piece of Cadd9something
 Em7Falling gently Cadd9down, down, down
 Em7No-one underCadd9stands you like AmI doF  G  
 Em7I'd rather be beCadd9side you
 Em7Everything we Cadd9know so well
 Em7Tell me what you Cadd9feel now
AmShow me what you Fthink of itG  
[Chorus]
     IEmt's not about Bmus anymDore
 It's aAmll about the Greasons that we Fthink we're fighting Cfor
 GIt's not about Emhate, Git's not about Bmpain we always EmfeelG  
 I Amknow we have our Bmproblems but we're Emnot the only ones
 CIt's not aboAmut you, Emit's not about me
 CIt's not aboAmut angerBm, it's more about the Floneliness we feel
[Verse 2]
 How can I begin to ask for some forgiveness
 For all that we have taken
 There's nothing left now
 Just a little piece of something
 Falling gently down, down, down
 No one understands you no, no
 Like I do
 There's nothing left now
[Chorus]
     IEmt's not about Bmus anymDore
 It's aAmll about the Greasons that we Fthink we're fighting Cfor
