Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

We all know sadness, and I feel your pain

Well everybody knows a little loneliness sometimes

'Cause we're all the same

We all have sorrow, we all have shame

Everybody feels a bit of emptiness sometimes

Now what you gonna do about that

There's a way to keep going , step by step

Try to fix what's been broken, brick by brick

While your life will keep coming, year after year

Drain the pain, tear by tear

Drain away the pain, tear by tear

Take a look around you

Every face that you see

Well everybody gets a little paralyzed sometimes, the epidemic of our

insanity

There's a way to keep going , step by step

Try to fix what's been broken, brick by brick

While your life will keep coming, year after year

Drain the pain, tear by tear

Drain away the pain, tear by tear

And the mother she waits, 'Cause her teenager's late

Till the knock on the door, he says ma'am I am so sorry

And soldiers come home, one leg less than they'd gone with

We all walk around like there's just nothing wrong with it

The doctor he cries 'cause his last patient died

Did I mention before he was a father of five

And the waitress is home, well she can't pay her loan

She's lost everything – everything, she has no where to go

And the fat kid at school couldn't take anymore

All the taunts and the names and the ugliest words

No one even stopped to notice, they went on with their day

Till he pulled out a gun and blew himself away

There's a way to keep going , step by step

Try to fix what's been broken, brick by brick

You can drain all the pain~

Tear by tear~,

Tear by tear~,
