Valvey distortion neccessary, reduce for verse or play softer so that the signal breaks up less. INTRO: What ever happened? [sample] G / Em7#9 / A x2 G / Em7#9 / A / C VERSE: G /Em(7#9) [Let ring] Did I wipe the tear, or did I spit in your face? Did I point the finger or give the hand of grace? C F Em(7#9) Oh why...does it come to this? [Strike chords once] Em7(#9) A Is it freedom that you want, or are the chains in your head? Em A Can a man play God, when He made his own bed? C F Em Oh why...does it come to this? CHORUS: G / Em7#9 A Whatever happened to the love that you made? G / Em7#9 A Whatever happened to the prayer that you prayed? G / Em7#9 A C Whatever happens to a promise these days? VERSE:[Play each note of the chord, upwards] Em7 A Did the Earth disappear, when you told of the truth, Em7 A Of the lands you would conquer, of the mountains you'd move? C F Em Oh why...does it come to this? [As before] Did you covenant or live the dream in your head? Would you die for her or rather raise the dead? Oh when...will I learn from this?
