[Verse]
Hello Cbrother, you don't Gknow me anymore
You know my Bmface, but you can't recall the Aname
And I look Cdifferent than I Gever looked before
Would you beBmlieve me if I said my name was F#Cain?
Would you beGlieve me if I Bmsaid my name was ACain?G  A  
[Verse]
We tried so Chard to Gmeet on common ground
And we Bmwalked along together for aAwhile
But then you Cbroke the bond of Gfriendship we had found
And when I Bmshook your hand, you tried to raise a F#smile
When I Gshook your hand, you Bmtried to raise a AsmileG  A  
[Verse]
Are you Cscared of Gliking what you see?
Are you Bmscared of the seed that cast a Adoubt?
You have been Churt, but I've Gsuffered more than thee
I'm left to Bmwander in the wilderness aF#bout
I'm left to Gwander in the Bmwilderness aAboutG  A  
[Verse]
I was reCjected when Gyou were taken in
I laboured Bmlong for my offering of Agrain
Now you can Claugh at the Gpenance of my sin
No it's not Bmeasy to bear the name of F#Cain
It's not Geasy to Bmbear the name of ACain
[Outro]
