Intro: D 


Hank: 
Verse: 
D 
Any dolt with half a brain, 
D 
Can see that humankind has gone insane. 
D 
To the point where I don’t know 
D 
If I’ll upset the status quo, 
D 
If I throw poison in the water main. 


Pre-Chorus 
G               D 
Listen close to everybody’s heart, 
    G                  D 
And hear that breaking sound. 
G                    D 
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart, 
    A 
And crashing to the ground. 

  D      A          E 
I cannot believe my eyes. 
        D                   A         E 
How the world’s filled with filth and lies. 
          D               A 
'Cause it seEs to me, 
           E             G 
The evil inside of me, 
          D 
Is on the rise. 



Katherine: 
Verse: 
D 
Look around, 
D 
We’re living with the lost and found. 
D 
Just when you feel you’ve almost drowned, 
D 
You find yourself on solid ground. 


Pre-Chorus 
          G                     D 
And you believe there’s good in everybody’s heart. 
G                D          G 
Keep it safe and sound. 
          D 
With hope you can do your part, 
   A 
To turn a life around. 

  D      A          E 
I cannot believe my eyes. 
        D                   A         E 
How the world’s filled with filth and lies. 
          D               A 
'Cause it seEs to me, 
           E             G 
The evil inside of me, 
          D 
Is on the rise.
