D/// Em///
Born into a war and peace
D/// GDG
Forced to choose between a right and wrong
D/// Em///
Each man kills a thing he loves
D/// GDG
For better or for worse
Em D
Face to face with a ragged truth
G A
Mixed up and torn in two
Em D
And turned your back on the only thing
G A
That could save you from yourself
D///
WHERE WERE YOU HIDING
G///
WHEN THE STORM BROKE
D/// GDG
WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL
Em D
WHEN THE THUNDER AND THE LIGHTNING STRUCK
D
AND THE RAIN AND THE FOUR WINDS DID HOWL
D/// Em///
After all time building up
D///
Comes inevitable knocking down
G D G
(ONE BY ONE)
D/// Em///
Come receivers, liars, gamblers
D///
Pick pocket entourage
G D G
(TWO BY TWO)
Em D
Selling out is a cardinal sin
G A
Sinning with a safety net (THREE BY THREE)
Em D
They say that all things come in threes
G A
Here comes the third degree
D (let ring)
All cards are marked
And all fates will collide
>
D///
The truth is the truth
Or the truth is surely a lie
Bm/// A///
Get back in your shelter
G D G A/ //
If you can't come down off the fence
Bm/// A///
And one more question
G D G
Where were you?
G
Where were you?
A D
WHERE WERE YOU HIDING
G
WHEN THE STORM BROKE
D
WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL
G D Em
WHERE WERE YOU HIDING
D G D G
FOUR. WINDS. HOWL.
