A                  E
A normal day, everything seems all right 

  F#m                       D
A thirteen year old, with a gun in his hand 

   A                E
He left for school, waving goodbye 

    F#m                     D
Not knowing that now, there is no way back 

A                         E
All that was given, he'll take it away 

   F#m                      D
He doesn´t even care, there are more to blame 

     A                        E
Then shoots a poor girl, that was running late 

    F#m                        D                        E
She falls and she bleeds, with no time, with no time to flea 


    A            D  
You don´t understand 

    E 
You don´t understand 

A               D         F#m        E
When you take a life, you are taking mine 

    A            D  
You don´t understand 

    E 
You don´t understand 

A               D
What we´ve been growing 

     F#m          E                A
With patience and love has fallen apart 


    A                      E
The feeling of pain, never felt it before 

  F#m                            D  
I know it´s not easy, that there isn´t a cure 

     A                  E   
Stop looking away, quit turning around 

F#m                        D                        E
Silence and violence would sure turn you down, ooooooh 


    
    A            D  
You don´t understand 

    E 
You don´t understand 

A               D         F#m        E
When you take a life, you are taking mine 

    A            D  
You don´t understand 

    E 
You don´t understand 

A               D
What we´ve been growing 

     F#m          E                A
With patience and love has fallen apart

F#m                      D
a thirteen year old, betrayed by his dad

A                      E  
I filling my time with messages of hope

I filling my time with thoughts of love


    A            D  
You don´t understand

You don´t understand 

A               D         F#m        E
When you take a life, you are taking mine
