[Verse 1]
F#m A D C#
In my dream, children sing a song of love for every boy and girl.
F#m A D C#
The sky is blue and fields are green and laughter is the language of the world.
D E D C#
Then I wake and all I see is a world full of people in need.
[Chorus]
F#m A
Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this?
D C#
Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
F#m A D
Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand.
D C#
When so many need somebody. don't give a helping hand.
F#m
Tell me why?
[Verse 2]
F#m A D C#
Every day I ask myself what will I have to do to be a man?
F#m A D C#
Do I have to stand and fight to prove to everybody who I am?
D E D C#
Is that what my life is for to waste in a world full of war?
[Chorus]
F#m A
Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this?
D C#
Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
F#m A D
Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand.
D C#
When so many need somebody. don't give a helping hand.
F#m
Tell me why?
