  Intro Dm
  
  Dm                        C               Dm
  As I raise my head to broadcast my objection
                            C                 Dm
  As your latest triumph draws the final straw
                       C           Dm
  Who died and lifted you up to perfection?
                         C                Dm
  And what silenced me is written into law.
  
  C                                        Dm
  I can't believe where circumstance has thrown me
        C              Dm
  And I turn my head away
        C                             Dm
  If I look I'm not sure that I could face you.
        Am         C           Dm
  Not again. not today. not today.
  
  Dm                   C             Dm
  If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow
                                C              Dm
  And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge
                                 C               Dm
  There's a hurt down deep that has not been corrected.
                                   C               Dm
  There's a voice in me that says you will not win.
  
     C                  Dm
  And if I ignore the voice inside,
    C                       Dm
  Raise a half glass to my home.
   C                     Dm
  But it's there that I am most afraid,
              Am           C               Dm
  And forgetting doesn't hold. it doesn't hold.
  
  F
  Now I don't believe and I never did
        Dm
  That two wrongs make a right.
           F
  If the world were filled with the likes of you
           Dm                                    F
  Then I'm putting up a fight. I'm putting up a fight.
                Dm               Am            C             Dm
  Putting up a fight. make it right. make it right.
  
        Dm            C                  Dm
  Now love cannot be called into question.
                      C                Dm
  Forgiveness is the only hope I hold.
                      C                    Dm
  And love- love will be my strongest weapon.
                       C          Dm
  I do believe that I am not alone.
  
            C                    Dm
  For this fear will not destroy me.
            C                   Dm
  And the tears that have been shed
         C                  Dm
  It's knowing now where I am weakest
           Am          C            Dm
  And the voice in my head. in my head.
  
          C                  Dm
  Then I raise my voice up higher
          C               Dm
  And I look you in the eye
         C                    Dm
  And I offer love with one condition.
         Am                  C
  With conviction, tell me why.
           Dm
  Tell me why.
           Am
  Tell me why.
                 C
  Look me in the eye.
            Dm
  Tell me why.
