Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]High upon a hillside
A preacher tells a story to a crowd
He tells the same old story
A thousand times he's read
that story loud
He wants to get [C]the answers
But his words are [G]only[C][G]
Answers to [D]nothing

[Verse 2]
Lying in my bedroom [D]A man
comes on my TV. with a grin
He tells me to believe him
He said that I should put
my faith [C]in him
Says he has the answers
But his words are [Bm]only

[Verse 3]
Answers to nothing
[Em]
Believed for the last time

[Verse 4]
Deceived for the last time
[D]They're the chosen leaders
Who say we can't stay
sitting on the fence
They leave us stuff
They're buying guns and bombs
For [C]our defense
The think this is the answer
But their thoughts are [Bm]only
Answers [C]to nothing

[Verse 5]
[D]Where is all the friend ship?
How can all the comradeship be done?
What of all the teachings?
What of things we learned when
we where young[C]?
It doesn't bear the asking ‘cause the
answer's given [Bm]where
Answers to [G]nothing[Em]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Lied for the last time
Died for the last [G]time[Bm]
Cried for the last time
[D]The last tim[Em]e
Believed for the last time
Deceived for the last [G]time[Bm]
Believed for the last [D]time
