Intro:
AAll these people hanging round
F#mWaiting for the world to change
BAll this pressure coming down
DLife is not such a pretty thing
Verse:
AAll these people hanging round
F#mWaiting for the world to change
BAll this pressure coming down
DLife is not a pretty thing
Standing in the pouring rain
Lonely as I'm soaking skin
Wishing it was yesterday
I said life is not a pretty thing
ATrying hard to make it work
F#mLosing all my faith in God
BShDaking hands shaking heads
F#mWhy, Aplease tell me why
F#mIs all this sorrow and suffering
EStill going on
DAlAl they ever wanted was a chance to live
DSometimes i just wonder
EHoAw can they still forgive how can they still forgive
A F#m B D
AAll these people running scared
F#mSeen so many times before
BLife is something to be shared
DLife is not a pretty thing
AWeF#mll I can't see the sense in this
BWhDerAe has all the feeling gone wrong.
F#mThe feelings gone
BAnd I'm wishing it was yesterday
DWhAere has all the feeling, where has all the feeling gone.
A F#m B D
Why, please tell me why
Is all this sorrow and suffering 
Still going on
All they ever wanted was a chance to live
Sometimes I just wonder
How can they still forgive
Well i woke up this morning with a pain in my head
Tried to work it out but i went back to bed
This aint the way that its supposed to be
This is not the day no this is not me and
Half your life is wasted the rest does not exist
Writing the papers and making a mess
Searching for reasons why everythings a mess
Why do we sit and take it is anybody spared and oh
[Use same chord run for that section and for the end. Finish on A]
