Standard (EADGBE)
A normal day, everything seems all right
A thirteen year old, with a gun in his hand
He left for school, waving goodbye
Not knowing that now, there is no way back
All that was given, he'll take it away
He doesn´t even care, there are more to blame
Then shoots a poor girl, that was running late
She falls and she bleeds, with no time, with no time to flea
You don´t understand
You don´t understand
When you take a life, you are taking mine
You don´t understand
You don´t understand
What we´ve been growing
With patience and love has fallen apart
The feeling of pain, never felt it before
I know it´s not easy, that there isn´t a cure
Stop looking away, quit turning around
Silence and violence would sure turn you down, ooooooh
You don´t understand
You don´t understand
When you take a life, you are taking mine
You don´t understand
You don´t understand
What we´ve been growing
With patience and love has fallen apart
(Guitar solo)
A normal day, everything seems all rigth
a thirteen year old, betrayed by his dad
I filling my time with messages of hope
I filling my time with thoughts of love
You don´t understand
You don´t understand
When you take a life, you are taking mine
You don´t understand
You don´t understand
What we´ve been growing
With patience and love has fallen apart
